Hachey and Ward (No 2)

This matter concerned an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory from a decision of the C Town Local Court made on 4 October 2016. The applicant, Hachey, sought this leave against the respondent, Ward.

The primary legal issue before Gill J was whether to grant the applicant leave to file a Notice of Appeal. This involved considering the merits of the proposed appeal and whether it was in the interests of justice to permit the appeal to proceed.

Gill J granted leave to the applicant to file the Notice of Appeal in the Canberra Registry. The order was made subject to the formal entry of the order in the Court's records.
