Fidge v Medical Board of Australia

FIDGE

v

MEDICAL BOARD OF AUSTRALIA

[2024] HCASL 74
M96/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (McLeish, Niall and Taylor JJA) which refused an application for leave to appeal from orders made by the Supreme Court of Victoria (Cavanough J) which, in turn, had granted the applicant leave to appeal but dismissed the appeal on a question of law under s 148 of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998 (Vic) in relation to an interlocutory decision of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal made on 24 November 2021 which ceased to have any practical significance and in respect of which the proposed questions of law may not arise.

2. The application has no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
