CAPPELLO & ANOR
v

LYONS
[2023] HCASL 189
S94/2023

1. An extension of time is required for this application to proceed. This application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Simpson AJA, Meagher JA and Griffiths AJA agreeing) dismissing an appeal from the District Court of New South Wales (Olsson DCJ) is an unsuitable vehicle to consider any issue concerning the scope of advocate's immunity and has no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

2. Special leave to appeal is refused.
