Fu v Carmody

The appeal concerned an application for leave to appeal brought by the applicant, Fu, against the respondent, Carmody. The nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text. The decision was made by Macfarlan and Leeming JJA of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether to grant leave to appeal. The catchwords indicate that the application did not raise an issue of principle, which is a significant factor in determining whether leave to appeal should be granted.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal. While the specific reasoning for this dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the absence of an issue of principle suggests that the applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal raised a question of law that warranted further consideration by the appellate court.

Consequently, the Court ordered that the application for leave to appeal be dismissed with costs. The costs payable by the applicant to the respondent were assessed at $8,000.
