CHEN

v

A JUDGE OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA & ORS

[2024] HCASL 211
M47/2024

1. The applicant seeks leave to appeal from a decision of a single Justice of this Court (Beech‑Jones J) made on 24 May 2024. That decision dismissed an application for a constitutional or other writ, in which the applicant sought writs of certiorari and mandamus in relation to prior decisions of the Federal Court of Australia adverse to the applicant.

2. For leave to appeal to be granted, it is necessary for the applicant to establish that the decision from which leave to appeal is sought is attended with sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration and, if so established, that substantial injustice would result if leave were refused, supposing the decision to be wrong. The applicant's application for leave to appeal does not establish sufficient reasons to doubt the correctness of the decision of Beech-Jones J. Nor has the application established that substantial injustice would result from a refusal of leave should the decision be assumed to be wrong. There is consequently no basis for a grant of leave to appeal.

3. Leave to appeal is refused.
