Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MR I.Z.G. KOUSAL appeared in person.

GUMMOW J:   In this matter the Court holds a certificate from the Deputy Registrar that she has been informed by Tolhurst Druce & Emmerson, solicitors for the respondent, that the respondent does not intend to participate in these proceedings at this stage but reserves her right to participate at a later stage should this special leave application be successful.  Mr Kousal, we understand you wish us to proceed on the written papers that we have looked at?

MR KOUSAL:   Yes, your Honour.

GUMMOW J:   Thank you.  Sit down, Mr Kousal. 

This application for special leave to appeal from orders of the Full Court of the Family Court of Australia is to be determined without oral argument.  We have considered the written materials.  The applicant does not demonstrate that the decision of the Full Court is attended by sufficient doubt to warrant the grant of special leave.  Accordingly, special leave is refused. 

AT 12.21 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
