Neville v Lam

The appeal in *Neville v Lam* was heard by Basten, Emmett and Simpson JJA of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The appellant, who was unrepresented, sought to appeal a decision. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the appeal concerned findings of fact made by the lower court.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether there was any error in the factual findings of the primary court that would warrant intervention on appeal. The court was also required to consider whether the appeal raised any significant issue of legal principle.

The Court of Appeal found no error in the primary court's findings of fact and determined that the appeal did not raise any issue of principle. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal. The court also ordered that the time for the appellant to file a notice of appeal be extended until 5 September 2014, and that the appellant pay the respondent's costs of the appeal.
