S6/2022
S18/2022

1. These applications are for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Leeming and Brereton JJA and Emmett A‑JA). An extension of time is required for the application in S18/2022 to proceed.

2. The application in S6/2022 concerns matters of practice and procedure and does not raise any question of general principle sufficient to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. The application in S18/2022 has insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal and is not an appropriate vehicle for the consideration of any of the questions of principle raised. It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time in S18/2022.

3. The applications should be dismissed. 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 each application with costs.
