MATUTE

v

CRAMER

[2023] HCASL 192
A16/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Livesey ACJ and Bleby JA) on 13 July 2023.[1] The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant's application for leave to appeal against a decision of the District Court of South Australia (Judge Dart), which dismissed an application for an extension of time to appeal and an appeal against a decision of a District Court Master appointing a litigation guardian to the applicant.

   [1]         Matute v Cramer [2023] SASCA 78.

2. The Court of Appeal's judgment was plainly correct. Consequently, it would be futile to grant the necessary extension of time. Special leave to appeal is refused.
