This application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Rares, Collier and Charlesworth JJ) does not identify any reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court. An appeal to this Court would have insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. The application should be dismissed.
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.

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The case of Milford v Coles Supply Chain Pty Ltd was heard by the High Court of Australia. The applicant, Milford, sought special leave to appeal from a decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia. The dispute centred around an employment-related issue. Milford had taken legal action against Coles Supply Chain Pty Ltd, but the Full Court's decision went against them, and they now sought to appeal to the High Court.
The central legal issue before the High Court was whether the application for special leave to appeal had sufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave. This involved assessing the correctness of the Full Court's decision and determining if there were grounds for the High Court to intervene. The High Court needed to decide if there were any errors in law or if the Full Court's decision was so flawed that it warranted a higher court's review.
Upon review, the High Court found that the application did not identify any reason to doubt the correctness of the Full Court's decision. The reasoning behind the Full Court's judgment appeared sound, and the High Court did not see any significant errors or omissions that would justify an appeal. As a result, the High Court concluded that the appeal would have insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. The application was dismissed, and the High Court directed the Registrar to draw up, sign, and seal an order to that effect.
