Decision Date

CaseChat Overview and Summary

Boensch sought leave to appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Pascoe opposed the application on the basis that it was out of time. The New South Wales Court of Appeal had determined that the appeal was governed by the Jurisdiction of Courts (Cross-vesting) Act 1987 (Cth) and that only the Full Court of the Federal Court could hear the appeal. Boensch applied to the Federal Court for an extension of time to appeal and Pascoe opposed that application. Pascoe also applied for security for costs in relation to the extension of time application.

The court considered what orders were appropriate to manage the applications. The court determined that the security for costs application should be heard at the same time as the extension of time application. The court ordered that the parties could use documents used or prepared for the Court of Appeal without reworking them, to minimise costs. The court also ordered a timetable for the filing and serving of documents in relation to the applications. The matter was referred to the docket of Justice Gleeson who was to make further orders as necessary to prepare for a substantive appeal.

The court ordered that the conditional application for security for costs and any evidence and submissions in support of it be filed and served within seven days. The respondent to that application was to file and serve any evidence and submissions on the security for costs application within seven days thereafter. The respondent to the extension of time application was to file and serve any submissions and evidence in relation to that application within 14 days. The parties were to liaise with the chambers of Justice Gleeson to set a date for the hearing of the applications. Justice Gleeson was to make further case management orders for the preparation of appeal books and submissions in the substantive appeal, should that become necessary, with a view to having the matter heard in the February sittings.

Justice Gleeson made orders for the filing and serving of documents and set a date for the hearing of the applications. The court made further orders to facilitate the preparation of appeal books and submissions for the substantive appeal, should that become necessary.
