HUNT
v
LONGHURST & ANOR
[2021] HCASL 59
S214/2020
The applicant seeks a significant extension of time within which to file an application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Sheller and Santow JJA and Stein AJA) allowing an appeal from the District Court of New South Wales (Judge Gamble) and setting aside and recalculating a judgment debt verdict handed down some 17 years ago. The applicant was represented by senior and junior counsel before the Court of Appeal.
The application does not enjoy sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave and the applicant's explanation for the significant delay is unpersuasive. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time sought.
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 application.
