Frigger v Rowe Bristol Lawyers Pty Ltd

In the matter of Frigger v Rowe Bristol Lawyers Pty Ltd, the applicants, Frigger and Rowe Bristol Lawyers, sought an extension of time to appeal against a decision that dismissed their appeal in a dispute over costs. The applicants were in a bankruptcy situation and contested the dismissal of their appeal, which was against the trustee in bankruptcy. The legal issue before the court was whether the claim for the assessment of costs was in respect of a personal injury or wrong or if the claim was deemed to have been abandoned by the trustee in bankruptcy. The outcome of the appeal hinged on the facts of the case.

The court considered the nature of the claim and the implications of the abandonment by the trustee in bankruptcy. It examined whether the claim was for a personal injury or wrong, which would affect the outcome of the appeal. The court found that the claim for the assessment of costs was not in respect of a personal injury or wrong. Therefore, the claim was deemed to have been abandoned by the trustee in bankruptcy. The consequence of the abandonment was that the applicants' appeal was dismissed, and they were not granted an extension of time to appeal.

The court's reasoning was that the claim for the assessment of costs was not in respect of a personal injury or wrong. Therefore, it was not necessary to consider whether the claim was abandoned by the trustee in bankruptcy. The court held that the applicants' appeal was dismissed, and they were not granted an extension of time to appeal. The court did not find it necessary to consider the consequences of the abandonment by the trustee in bankruptcy.
