Kerryn Lee Munday v Jarrod Court

KERRYN LEE MUNDAY

v

JARROD COURT

[2015] HCASL 22
M115/2014

1. The applicant seeks an extension of time in which to apply for special leave to appeal against orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Warren CJ, Priest JA and Robson AJA) dismissing an appeal against the alleged inadequacy of the damages for personal injury awarded in favour of the applicant following a trial before a judge and jury in the County Court of Victoria (Judge Kings).

2. The applicant was represented at trial and before the Court of Appeal by senior and junior counsel but, because the applicant is no longer legally represented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

3. The applicant has not advanced any arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal, or any reason to doubt the correctness of it, and no point of general principle would fall for consideration if special leave were granted.

4. An appeal to this Court would thus enjoy no prospects of success and the grant of an extension of time in which to seek special leave would, therefore, be futile.

5. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
