Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union & Ors v Australian Building and Construction Commissioner

Case

[2021] HCASL 60


CONSTRUCTION, FORESTRY, MARITIME, MINING AND ENERGY UNION & ORS

v

AUSTRALIAN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION COMMISSIONER & ANOR

[2021] HCASL 60
B79/2020

  1. The applicants require an extension of time to apply for special leave to appeal from the decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia. There is no basis to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Full Court to warrant the grant of special leave. In relation to the first proposed ground of appeal, the Full Court applied the decision in Australian Building and Construction Commissioner v Powell (2017) 251 FCR 470. The second proposed ground raises no question of principle. It would be futile to grant the extension of time sought. Special leave should be refused.

  2. 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 with costs.
