Palavi v Queensland Newspapers Pty Ltd

The Court of Appeal of New South Wales considered an application for leave to appeal brought by Palavi against Queensland Newspapers Pty Ltd. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it led to an appeal to this court.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether there was an "issue of principle" that warranted granting leave to appeal. This is a common threshold for appeals, requiring more than just a disagreement with the lower court's decision.

The Court of Appeal, comprising Macfarlan JA and Sackville AJA, determined that no such issue of principle existed. Consequently, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
