HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia. By those orders, the Full Court dismissed the applicant’s appeal against orders of a single judge of the Court (Bleby J) prohibiting the applicant from instituting, without leave of the Court, further proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in a “prescribed court” as defined in s 39(6) of the Supreme Court Act 1935 (SA) against Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd or any corporation related to it or any present or former employee or agent of that company. Bleby J further ordered that two particular proceedings instituted by the present applicant be stayed. His Honour ordered the present applicant to pay the costs of the action.

Because the applicant is unrepresented his application for special leave falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Full Court’s decision.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.19 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
