HAYNE J:   On 10 December 2003, a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Whealy J) made orders pursuant to s 84 of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW) preventing the present applicant (among other things) from instituting or continuing any legal proceedings in any court in New South Wales without the leave of the Supreme Court of that State. On 6 August 2004, the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales ordered that the applicant’s application for leave to appeal against the orders of Whealy J be dismissed with costs. The applicant now seeks special leave to appeal against those orders of the Court of Appeal.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the orders of the Court of Appeal.

Pursuant to rule 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.  I publish that disposition.

AT 9.31 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
