Gorczynski v Perera

The Supreme Court of New South Wales, Court of Appeal, considered an application for leave to appeal in proceedings between Gorczynski (appellant) and Perera (respondent). The dispute concerned an application for leave to appeal against a decision of the primary judge, and related costs orders made during a costs assessment review.

The Court was required to determine whether to grant leave to appeal. This involved considering the principles governing the grant of leave to appeal, particularly in circumstances where the appeal sought to challenge a costs assessment review decision. The Court also had to consider the appropriate costs orders to be made in relation to the application for leave to appeal itself.

The Court dismissed the application for leave to appeal. While the specific reasoning is not detailed in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the Court found no sufficient grounds to grant leave, implying that the appeal did not meet the necessary threshold for further consideration. The Court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of the application.
