Dariverenli v South Eastern Sydney Local Health District

The appeal concerned an application for leave to appeal from decisions made regarding practice and procedure by a primary judge. The parties involved were Dariverenli and the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. The appeal was heard by Bell P and Leeming JA.

The central legal issue before the appellate court was whether the primary judge had erred in their exercise of discretion concerning matters of practice and procedure. The applicants sought leave to appeal against these decisions.

The Court of Appeal found no error of principle in the primary judge’s exercise of discretion. Consequently, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed. The applicants were ordered to pay the costs of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.
