Feldman v Nationwide News Pty Ltd

In *Feldman v Nationwide News Pty Ltd*, the appellant sought leave from the Court of Appeal of New South Wales to further amend its notice of appeal. The dispute concerned the proposed amendments and whether they introduced new issues or would prejudice the respondents.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the proposed amendments to the notice of appeal should be permitted, considering whether they raised new issues and the potential prejudice to the respondents. The court also had to consider the overarching principle of whether there was any issue of principle involved in granting or refusing the leave sought.

White JA granted leave to the appellant to file a further amended notice of appeal in the form specified, with a minor deletion to ensure clarity. The court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, focused on the procedural aspects of amending appeal notices and the balance between allowing parties to present their case fully and avoiding undue prejudice to the opposing party. The court ordered that the appellant pay the respondents' costs associated with the notice of motion filed on 21 August 2020.
