v

RONSEL INVESTMENTS PTY LTD

[2024] HCASL 310
M77/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from the whole of the judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Beach and Lyons JJA), refusing leave to appeal from the judgment of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Niall JA), which in turn refused an extension of time to appeal the orders made by Daly AsJ on 23 July 2020 and 6 October 2021, summarily dismissing an action for negligence against the applicant's former solicitor, and dismissing a further action for negligence against the applicant's former solicitor for want of prosecution.

2. The applicant's proposed grounds of appeal have no prospects of success and do not raise any questions of general principle. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
