v

NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION D.P. NO 285853 (NHA DP 285853) ABN 24002854739

S5/2025

1. The applicants require an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from part of the judgment of a single judge of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Stern JA), which dismissed an application to overturn orders made by the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Ward P and Mitchelmore JA), which in turn refused leave to appeal against two sets of orders made by single judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Adamson J and N Adams J, respectively). By those orders, Adamson J dismissed with costs an appeal from the decision of the Local Court awarding costs in favour of the respondent, and N Adams J dismissed with costs a further application seeking to set aside and vary the orders of Adamson J. The application before Stern JA was the third application by the applicants seeking a reversal of the decision of Adamson and N Adams JJ.  

2. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's decision. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
