Liristis v White

Liristis (appellant) sought leave to appeal against a decision of the District Court of New South Wales. The precise nature of the dispute between Liristis and White (respondent) was not detailed in the provided text, but the application for leave to appeal was heard by McHugh and Ball JJA in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the appellant had demonstrated sufficient grounds to warrant the granting of leave to appeal. Specifically, the court was required to determine if the appeal raised an issue of principle, a question of public importance, or a reasonably clear injustice that would justify appellate intervention.

The Court of Appeal concluded that the appellant had failed to identify any such grounds. Their Honours found no issue of principle, no question of public importance, and no reasonably clear injustice that would warrant granting leave to appeal. Consequently, the application for leave to appeal was refused.

Leave to appeal was refused with costs awarded to the respondent.
