HAU LAM v PHUNG THUONG LAM & ORS;
HAU LAM v MAI NGUYEN & ORS

1. In both applications, the applicant requires an extension of time, but it would be futile to grant the extension which is sought. 

2. The applications for special leave to appeal do not raise a question of general importance.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Whelan, Santamaria and Kaye JJA).  Accordingly, any appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave.

3. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the applications with costs.
