Lindsay v Baker

[2014] HCASL 2

LINDSAY

v

BAKER & ANOR

[2014] HCASL 2
B53/2013

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Full Court of the Family Court of Australia (Bryant CJ, Finn and Strickland JJ) dismissing her appeal against parenting orders made by a single judge of the Family Court (Bell J) in respect of the child of the relationship between the applicant and the first respondent.  Those parenting orders directed (in effect) that the child live with the first respondent.

2. As the applicant does not have legal representation, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004. The application is made well out of time.

3. Although the applicant has given notice under s 78B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), no constitutional issue arises. The decision of the Full Court is not attended by doubt. The applicant raises no arguable ground of appeal. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.

4. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
