Nasr v State of New South Wales

The applicants, Nasr and others, sought leave to appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales concerning a defamation claim. The primary dispute revolved around whether the defamation claim was statute-barred.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the primary judge erred in finding that the applicants' defamation claim was out of time and therefore barred by the relevant limitation period.

The Court of Appeal, comprising Macfarlan and Emmett JJA, considered the arguments presented by the applicants. Their reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, led them to conclude that the primary judge's decision was correct. Consequently, the Court refused the application for leave to appeal.

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed, and the applicants were ordered to pay the costs of the appeal.
