v
ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA & ORS[2020] HCASL176
A9/2020
The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of Blue J of the Supreme Court of South Australia refusing the applicant permission pursuant to s 39 of the Supreme Court Act 1935 (SA) to appeal to the Full Court against a judgment of Blue J refusing the applicant permission to apply to set aside or revoke orders of a Master of the Supreme Court (Judge Dart) confirming a provisional costs order.
No extension of time is warranted. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of Blue J's judgment. Bampton J had previously dismissed an application by the applicant to review Judge Dart's orders. The Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia had previously refused the applicant leave to appeal against Bampton J's orders. And the application to Blue J to set aside or revoke the orders of Judge Dart the subject of this application was plainly an abuse of process. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
