Coshott v Spencer

COSHOTT

v

SPENCER & ORS

[2022] HCASL 61
S184/2021

1. An extension of time is necessary to enable this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

2. The proceeding is not a suitable vehicle for the resolution of the issue identified in Bell Lawyers Pty Ltd v Pentelow & Anor (2019) 269 CLR 333 at 352 [51]. Accordingly, special leave should be refused. That being so, it would be futile to grant the required extension of time.

3. 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.
