BLOCK 27 PTY LTD ACN 462 092 608

v

QURSA PTY LTD ACN 168 275 974 & ORS

[2024] HCASL 324
C14/2024
C15/2024

1. The applicants seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Australian Capital Territory (Mossop, Baker and McWilliam JJ) which dismissed the applicants' appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (Curtin A-J), and from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Australian Capital Territory (Mossop A-CJ) which dismissed the applicants' appeal to set aside the orders of the Court of Appeal. An extension of time is required in application C14/2024.

2. In light of the concession by the applicants that the effect of the amendment to the Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) is that a grant of special leave to appeal on the ground concerning a denial of procedural fairness is no longer appropriate, the applications raise no issue of general public importance and have insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant an extension of time in application C14/2024.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs with the applicants to pay the costs of the first and second respondents.
