v

LEIGH

[2021] HCASL 48
B72/2020

  1. The appeal foreshadowed by this application for special leave to appeal does not enjoy sufficient prospects of success overall to warrant the grant of special leave. Consequently, the foreshadowed appeal is not a suitable vehicle for the agitation of the question concerning the application in this case of the principle in Briginshaw v Briginshaw (1938) 60 CLR 336. The application for special leave should be refused.

  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.

CaseChat Overview and Summary

Bruder Expeditions Pty Ltd sought to appeal a decision of the Supreme Court of South Australia in the High Court. The appeal was in relation to a dispute concerning the interpretation and application of the principle established in Briginshaw v Briginshaw (1938) 60 CLR 336. The High Court was required to determine whether the application of this principle warranted special leave to appeal. Special leave is necessary for an appeal to be heard by the High Court, and it was the application for this leave that was before the Court.

The Court found that the appeal did not have sufficient prospects of success overall, particularly in relation to the question of the Briginshaw principle's application. This determination was based on a consideration of the evidence presented and the strength of the arguments. The Court concluded that the application for special leave did not present a suitable vehicle for the proposed legal argument concerning the Briginshaw principle.

As a result of the findings, the High Court refused the application for special leave to appeal. The Court directed that an order be drawn up, signed and sealed by the Registrar dismissing the application with costs. This outcome means that the appeal will not proceed to the High Court and the decision of the Supreme Court of South Australia will stand.
