Kostov v The Society of St Vincent de Paul Pty Ltd

An application for leave to appeal out of time was brought by the applicant, Kostov, against the respondent, The Society of St Vincent de Paul Pty Ltd. The specific nature of the underlying dispute that led to this application is not detailed in the provided text. The application was heard by Robinson AJ.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant leave to appeal out of time. This required the court to consider whether there were any impediments that prevented the applicant from filing the appeal within the prescribed time limits and, crucially, whether the proposed appeal had any reasonable prospects of success.

Robinson AJ dismissed the application. The reasoning appears to be that there was no impediment to filing the appeal within the time limit and that the appeal lacked reasonable prospects of success. Consequently, the court found no basis to grant an extension of time for the appeal. The application was therefore dismissed.
