Gaye Luck v Secretary of Department of Human Services

[2016] HCASL 289

GAYE LUCK
v
SECRETARY OF DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES & ORS

[2016] HCASL 289
M123/2016

1. No sufficient reason has been shown to warrant interference with the ordinary appeal process by granting the application for removal to this Court.

2. No useful purpose would be served by making the orders for consolidation sought by the applicant.

3. No sufficient reason has been shown why this Court, rather than the courts in which the proceedings are pending, should be asked to make orders sought in the summons filed on 14 October 2016 for non‑publication or redaction of material.  As to the balance of the relief sought in that summons, the relaxation of limits on the length of the applicant's reply submissions would serve no purpose.  The summons should be dismissed.

4. Pursuant to r 26.07.1, we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.
