Ainsworth & Ors v Albrecht & Anor

The High Court of Australia granted special leave to appeal in the matter of *Ainsworth & Ors v Albrecht & Anor*. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties and the lower court's decision from which the appeal arose are not detailed in this transcript.

The primary legal issue before the High Court was whether to grant special leave to appeal. This involves determining if the case raises a question of law that is of general public importance, or if there is another compelling reason for the High Court to hear the appeal.

The Court, comprising Justice Nettle and another Justice, determined that special leave should be granted. This indicates their preliminary view that the appeal raises significant legal questions warranting the attention of the High Court. The Court will now proceed to set a hearing date and issue directions for the conduct of the appeal.
