Mulligan v The Nominal Defendant

The parties involved were Mulligan, the applicant, and The Nominal Defendant, the respondent. The dispute concerned an application for leave to appeal a decision. The matter came before the New South Wales Court of Appeal.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the proposed appeal had any significant prospect of success. This involved determining if there was a substantial question of principle or a matter of general public importance that warranted appellate review.

The Court of Appeal concluded that the proposed appeal had no significant prospect of success and did not raise any issue of principle or question of general public importance. Consequently, the summons seeking leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
