John Wilson v The Attorney General of New South Wales

John Wilson applied for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal of New South Wales against a decision concerning his status as a vexatious litigant. The Attorney General of New South Wales was the respondent.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether to grant Mr. Wilson leave to appeal against the primary judge's decision. This involved considering whether there was any question of principle involved in the application that warranted appellate review.

The Court of Appeal, comprising McColl and Whealy JJA, dismissed the application for leave to appeal. Their Honours found that there was no question of principle raised by the application that justified granting leave. Consequently, the application was dismissed with costs.
