Klewer v Coffs Harbour City Council

The Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application for leave to appeal in *Klewer v Coffs Harbour City Council*. The applicant, Mr Klewer, sought to challenge a decision made by the respondent, Coffs Harbour City Council.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether there was an arguable ground for challenging the Council's decision. This question hinged on whether the factual findings made in the original decision were clearly correct. If those factual findings were indeed correct, then any other bases for challenging the decision would necessarily fall away.

The Court reasoned that if the factual findings were demonstrably correct, then no arguable ground for appeal existed. Consequently, the Court found that there was no arguable ground upon which to grant leave to appeal.

Accordingly, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
