AHAMED

v

SECRETARY OF DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES & ORS

[2024] HCASL 156
M27/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek leave to appeal from a decision of a single Justice of this Court (Gleeson J) made on 7 July 2023. That decision dismissed an application for constitutional or other writs in which the applicant sought orders in the nature of certiorari and mandamus and other relief.

2. For leave to appeal to be granted, it is necessary for the applicant to establish that the decision from which leave to appeal is sought is attended with sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration and, if so established, that substantial injustice would result if leave were refused, supposing the decision to be wrong. Nothing in the applicant's application for leave to appeal raises any, let alone sufficient, reasons to doubt the correctness of the decision of Gleeson J. There is consequently no basis for a grant of leave to appeal. Accordingly, it would also be futile to grant the extension of time sought.

3. Leave to appeal is refused.
