Hillman v T & R (Murray Bridge) Pty Ltd

The application for permission to appeal was brought by Hillman against T & R (Murray Bridge) Pty Ltd. The dispute concerned the meaning and effect of particulars supporting a complaint, and whether the Full Court of the Industrial Relations Court of South Australia erred in refusing to allow an amendment to those particulars.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was whether the particulars provided were sufficiently arguable to warrant a further appeal. Specifically, the court had to determine if there was an arguable case that the Industrial Relations Court had made an error in its decision regarding the amendment of the particulars.

The Full Court reasoned that the application did not raise any issue of principle that would justify granting permission to appeal. The court found that the meaning of the particulars was not sufficiently arguable to meet the threshold for an appeal. Consequently, the court concluded that this was not an appropriate case for a grant of permission to appeal.

The application for permission to appeal was refused.
