v

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR CHILD PROTECTION & ORS

[2023] HCASL 98
A5/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a unanimous decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Livesey P, Doyle JA and Buss AuxJA) dismissing her appeal against an order by the Senior Judge of the Youth Court of South Australia dismissing the applicant's claim for costs against the first respondent in connection with two applications before the Youth Court.

2. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the unanimous decision of the Court of Appeal. An appeal to this Court does not enjoy sufficient prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is sought. Special leave should be refused.

3. 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.
