EDWARDS
v
STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES
[2023] HCASL 20
S149/2022
The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Macfarlan JA; Gleeson and Kirk JJA agreeing). The Court of Appeal refused the applicant's application for leave to appeal and otherwise dismissed the appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court dismissing his claim that the respondent was vicariously liable for the tort of malicious prosecution.
The application does not raise any issue of legal principle. Further, the judgment of the Court of Appeal is plainly correct. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the extension of time required and special leave to appeal should be refused.
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.
