Jones v Bartlett & Anor

The case of *Jones v Bartlett & Anor* concerned a dispute between the applicant, Jones, and the respondents, Bartlett & Anor. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it proceeded before Kirby J in chambers.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of whether to grant leave to appeal from a decision of the Full Federal Court. This involved an assessment of the prospects of success on appeal and whether the appeal raised a question of general public importance.

Kirby J considered the principles governing the grant of special leave to appeal, particularly in the context of the High Court's jurisdiction. His Honour's reasoning would have involved an analysis of the arguments presented by the applicant and the respondents, weighing them against the criteria for granting leave, which typically requires demonstrating substantial error or a significant legal question.

As the provided text only includes the judge's name and the fact that the matter was heard in chambers, the final orders or outcome of the application for leave to appeal cannot be determined from this excerpt.
