COLLINS
v
STATE OF QUEENSLAND
[2022] HCASL 96
B9/2022
A substantial extension of time is required for this application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland to proceed.
In circumstances in which the Court of Appeal correctly concluded that there was no basis to conclude that the behaviour of the mediator occurred with the respondent's knowledge or at the respondent's behest, an appeal to this Court would have no prospects of success. An appeal would not be an appropriate vehicle for the consideration of the questions of principle raised concerning the conduct of mediators. It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time. The application should be dismissed.
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.
