BRIDGES

[2020] HCASL 172
M39/2020

1. This is an application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Family Court of Australia (Strickland J) exercising appellate jurisdiction. The application for special leave has insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. In light of the limited pool of funds available to the parties, a grant of special leave to appeal would not be in the interests of administration of justice. The first and third proposed grounds of appeal raise no issue of sufficient public importance to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. The proposed appeal is an unsuitable vehicle for consideration of the second proposed ground, concerning the use of comparable cases as a guide to determining the standard of a just and equitable property division.

2. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.
