Abstract

On 31 December 2009, the Federal Court allowed the judicial review application of Ricardo Companioni and his common-law partner on the basis that the ability and willingness of the applicants to defray the cost of their out-patient prescription drug medications is a relevant consideration in assessing whether the demands presented by an applicant's health condition constitute an "excessive demand".
