Thank you for your follow up question.

 

We can advise that decision (SMV v MBIE) was not included in the response,
as the response listed decisions released in each of the three last
complete financial years (2020/2021, 2021/2022, and 2022/2023), whereas
SMV v MBVIE was released in the current financial year (2023/2024).
