MCIVER

v

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

[2025] HCADisp 78

C3/2025

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (Mossop, Loukas-Karlsson and Rangiah JJ), in which the Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (Curtin A-J) concerning an application for an extension of time under s 40C(3) of the Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT).

2. The proposed appeal does not expose any legal issue suitable for determination by this Court and, in any event, lacks sufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
