v

MARTIN FLETCHER (AUSTRALIAN HEALTH PRACTITIONER REGULATION AGENCY) & ANOR

[2024] HCASL 209
M46/2024

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from part of a judgment of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Gorton J) (proceeding S ECI 2023 04834) which dismissed the applicant's originating motion for judicial review of a decision of the Magistrates' Court of Victoria (Magistrate Bolger) which, in turn, had refused the applicant's application for a "name suppression order". 

2. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to file the application for special leave to appeal. Not only has the applicant failed to exhaust her appeal rights in the Supreme Court of Victoria, the applicant advances no question of law sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave and there is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Supreme Court's judgment. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is sought.

3. Special leave is refused.
