BROOKFIELD

v

REAL ESTATE NOW PTY LTD & ANOR

[2024] HCASL 126
B7/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Flanagan JA, Buss A-JA and Kelly J) dismissing an appeal from an order of the District Court of Queensland (Burnett DCJ), which in turn dismissed the applicant's claim against the respondents for breach of contract and misleading or deceptive conduct.

2. The application does not present any reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal, which involved the application of settled principles regarding issue estoppel. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant an extension of time.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
