Bloomfield and Grainger and Anor

In *Bloomfield and Grainger and Anor*, Hogan J of the Supreme Court of Queensland considered an application by the applicant and the subsequent dismissal of that application for want of jurisdiction. The proceedings concerned an initiating application filed on 7 January 2014.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the initiating application. Ancillary to this, the Court also considered an application by the applicant for leave to amend the initiating application.

Hogan J dismissed the applicant's application for leave to amend the initiating application. The Court then dismissed the initiating application itself for want of jurisdiction. The reasons for this lack of jurisdiction are not detailed in the provided text.

The Court made detailed orders regarding the process for any application for costs, requiring the filing and service of affidavits and written submissions within specified timeframes. Additionally, the Court provided a mechanism for parties to be heard on whether the reasons for judgment should be provided to the Office of State Revenue (Qld).
