v

TEG LIVE PTY LIMITED ACN 150 055 100

[2024] HCASL 184
S41/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Stern JA, White JA and Simpson A‑JA agreeing), dismissing the applicant's appeal from a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Slattery J). That decision dismissed the applicant's claim for relief for alleged breach of confidence and misuse of confidential information.  

2. The proposed appeal does not enjoy sufficient prospects of success or raise a question of law of general importance sufficient to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. Further, it cannot be said that the interests of the administration of justice, either generally or in this case, weigh in favour of the grant of special leave. Accordingly, it would also be futile to grant the extension of time that is required.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
