David Brian Forster v Legal Services Board

[2014] HCASL 4

DAVID BRIAN FORSTER
v
LEGAL SERVICES BOARD & ORS
[2014] HCASL 4
M72/2013
M73/2013

1. The applicant makes two applications for special leave to appeal to this Court.

2. The first alleges that the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Weinberg and Harper JJA and Kyrou AJA) erred in refusing the applicant leave to appeal against orders of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Emerton J) extending the receivership of the law practice of which he was principal.

3. The second alleges that the Court of Appeal erred in upholding a freezing order made by Emerton J with respect to the disposition of the proceeds of sale of the premises where the applicant's practice was conducted.

4. As the applicant does not have legal representation, the applications fall to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

5. On 11 February 2014 he applied to have the Court postpone the pronouncement of orders.  He advances no arguable ground for taking that course.

6. Appeals to this Court against the orders of the Court of Appeal would enjoy no prospect of success.

7. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the applications.
