v
WorkCover Queensland
[2023] HCASL 4
B53/2022
The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Mullins P, Morrison and Bond JJA). The Court of Appeal allowed an appeal against a decision to grant an extension of time pursuant to s 31 of the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (Qld) in respect of an action for injuries the applicant sustained in 1999 in the course of his employment.
There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's reasons, and the application does not raise any issue of general principle. Accordingly, special leave should be refused. That being so, it would be futile to grant the extension of time required.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal and order dismissing the application.
