FLOWERS

v

FINLAYSON

[2023] HCASL 118
A3/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time to apply for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Livesey P, Doyle JA and Nicholson AJA) dismissing the applicant's application to reopen and set aside the judgment of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Peek, Stanley and Lovell JJ) which dismissed an appeal from the decision of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.

2. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time sought. Special leave should be refused.

3. 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 the application.
