D'Arcy v Officers Still

The case of *D'Arcy v Officers Still* concerned an application for leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. The applicant, D'Arcy, sought to challenge a decision of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Queensland. The precise nature of the dispute that led to the Supreme Court's decision is not detailed in the provided text, but it involved an interaction with "Officers Still."

The primary legal issue before McHugh J, sitting in chambers, was whether D'Arcy had established an arguable case of error in the Full Court's decision, which is a prerequisite for granting leave to appeal to the High Court. This involved assessing whether the grounds of appeal raised substantial questions of law or whether there were other compelling reasons for the High Court to grant leave.

McHugh J considered the submissions of D'Arcy and concluded that no arguable case of error had been demonstrated. His Honour found that the grounds of appeal did not raise substantial questions of law and that there were no other compelling reasons to grant leave. Consequently, leave to appeal was refused.
