v

MOTOR ACCIDENTS INSURANCE BOARD

[2025] HCADISP 36
D3/2024

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from the whole of the judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory (Grant CJ, Barr and Huntingford JJ) of 10 October 2024 which allowed the respondent's appeal from the order of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory (Blokland J) giving judgment for the applicant against the respondent in the sum of $1,342,083.99 on the basis that payments made by the applicant to or on behalf of a victim of a motor vehicle accident for attendant care services came within the scope of the indemnity conferred in favour of the applicant against the respondent by s 38(1) of the Motor Accidents (Compensation) Act 1979 (NT).

2. The application for special leave to appeal does not raise a question of law of public importance and has insufficient prospects of success.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
