BMW Australia Ltd v Brewster & Anor

BMW Australia Ltd and Regency Funding Pty Ltd were parties to an application before the High Court of Australia. The nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided transcript, which records only the granting of special leave to appeal.

The High Court, constituted by Justices Gordon and Edelman, was required to determine whether to grant special leave to appeal. This involves assessing whether the case raises a question of law that is of general public importance or is necessary to resolve differences of opinion between courts.

The Court granted special leave to appeal, indicating that it considered the matter to be of sufficient importance to warrant a full hearing. The reasoning behind this decision is not elaborated upon in the transcript. The Court indicated that further directions regarding the conduct of the appeal, including time estimates for the hearing, would be communicated to the parties.
