El-Wasfi v State of New South Wales; Kassas v State of New South Wales

In *El-Wasfi v State of New South Wales; Kassas v State of New South Wales*, the applicants sought to set aside or vary judgments and orders previously made against them. The proceedings were heard in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales by Bathurst CJ, Meagher JA, and Emmett AJA.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the applicants had established sufficient grounds to warrant setting aside or varying the existing judgments and orders. This required the court to consider the nature of the applications and the legal tests applicable to such requests, particularly in circumstances where final judgments had already been entered.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicants' notice of motion. The reasoning for this decision was not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the applicants failed to satisfy the necessary legal threshold for setting aside or varying the prior judgments and orders. Consequently, the applicants were ordered to pay the costs of the respondents in relation to the motion.
