Allchin v Hunter Water Corporation

In *Allchin v Hunter Water Corporation*, the Court of Appeal considered an application for a pro bono referral. The applicant did not appear at the hearing.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the application for a pro bono referral in circumstances where the applicant was absent.

The Court, noting the absence of the applicant, made no substantive determination on the merits of the pro bono referral application itself. Instead, the Court ordered that the respondent's notice of motion, filed on 1 November 2024, be stood over for hearing by the referrals Judge on 16 December 2024.
