ARMET

v

STEPHEN BROWNE

[2024] HCASL 205
P24/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from the whole of the judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Mitchell, Vaughan and Hall JJA) dismissing an appeal from the judgment of a single judge of the District Court of Western Australia (Shepherd DCJ) in relation to an action brought by the applicant against the respondent, his former solicitor, alleging negligence in the performance of its retainer in respect of a workplace injury.

2. The decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia is not attended with sufficient doubt, and no question of principle falls for determination in this application. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
