EF v CD & Ors

The High Court of Australia, constituted by Nettle and Gordon JJ, considered an application for special leave to appeal. The parties involved were the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. The nature of the dispute itself is not detailed in the provided transcript.

The sole legal issue before the High Court was whether to grant special leave to appeal. This involves determining if the case raises a question of law that warrants the High Court's attention, typically due to its general public importance or the need to resolve conflicting decisions.

The Court, after hearing the application, granted special leave to appeal. No further reasoning or legal principles were articulated in the provided transcript, as the hearing concluded immediately after the granting of special leave. The Court then adjourned to reconstitute later that morning.
