v

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW SOUTH WALES

[2024] HCASL 83
S175/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Ward P, Kirk JA and Griffiths A‑JA) granting leave to appeal but dismissing an appeal from interlocutory and final orders of the primary judge (Cavanagh J). The primary judge ordered that the applicant, who has "an extensive litigious history", "be prohibited from instituting proceedings in New South Wales, without leave" and, in the course of the hearing, delivered an interlocutory judgment dismissing an application for an adjournment by the applicant and allowing the respondent to rely on an updating affidavit.

2. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
