Lovric v State of New South Wales (No 2)

Lovric, the plaintiff, commenced proceedings against the State of New South Wales, the defendant, seeking to set aside, vary or amend a judgment. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant had suppressed evidence and failed to answer subpoenas. The matter was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The legal issues before the court included whether the plaintiff had established grounds for amending or setting aside the judgment and whether the court should exercise its discretion in favour of the plaintiff. The court considered the plaintiff's allegations and found that they did not meet the threshold for amending, varying or setting aside the judgment. The court held that the plaintiff's claims were not substantiated and that the plaintiff had not demonstrated that the judgment should be amended or set aside. The court also considered the costs and found that the plaintiff should pay the defendant's costs. The court dismissed the amended notice of motion and ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant's costs.
