A [a pseudonym] v E Co [a pseudonym]

The applicant, A, sought leave to appeal against a decision of the primary judge. The respondent was E Co. The dispute concerned an application for leave to appeal, which was ultimately dismissed by the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the applicant had demonstrated an "issue of principle" that warranted granting leave to appeal. This required the court to assess the merits of the proposed appeal and determine if it raised a question of law of broader significance beyond the immediate parties.

The Court of Appeal concluded that no issue of principle was raised by the proposed appeal. Consequently, leave to appeal was dismissed. The court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of the application.
