Guild Insurance Limited v Mary Hepburn

[2015] HCASL 150

GUILD INSURANCE LIMITED
v
MARY HEPBURN
[2015] HCASL 150
S322/2014

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Macfarlan, Meagher and Gleeson JJA) granting the applicant leave to appeal but dismissing the appeal from orders made by the trial judge in the District Court of New South Wales (Norton DCJ). 

2. The interlocutory application before the District Court was for an order that the respondent be given leave to join the applicant as a defendant to proceedings pursuant to s 6 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1946 (NSW).

3. The applicant advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal.  No question of principle arises for determination in this application and an appeal to this Court would enjoy insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave. 

4. Pursuant to r 41.11.1, we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.
