MICHOS
v
EASTBROOKE MEDICAL CENTRE PTY LTD
[2020] HCASL 93
M3/2020

An extension of time is required to allow this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The appeal foreshadowed by this application for special leave to appeal concerns matters of practice and procedure. The application raises no question of principle of general importance. In addition, the appeal has insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the necessary extension of time. The application should be refused.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
