Conomy v Maden

In the High Court of Australia, Mr Conomy, the applicant, sought an order to enlarge the time for filing a notice of appeal. The application was made pursuant to rules 2.02 and 4.02 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth).

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the applicant's request for an enlargement of time to file a notice of appeal. The Court was required to determine how to deal with this application without considering the merits of the substantive appeal itself.

Her Honour directed that the applications made in Mr Conomy's summons be referred to the Court that deals with any appeal in proceeding P22 of 2019. This decision was made without assessing the merits of the summons. The Court also ordered that the title of proceeding P22 of 2019 be amended to read "In the matter of Jerrod James Conomy".
