Neville James Gibson v Bernard Joseph Drumm

[2016] HCASL 278

NEVILLE JAMES GIBSON

v

BERNARD JOSEPH DRUMM

[2016] HCASL 278
S221/2016

1. The applicant requires an extension of time, but it would be futile to grant the extension which is sought.  In this matter, the applicant does not advance a question of law that would justify a grant of special leave to appeal and there is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Beazley P and Simpson JA) to refuse the applicant leave to appeal from an order of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Young AJ) that the applicant should pay the respondent's costs of the proceeding. 

2. 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.
