A21/2019
The application does not raise any question suitable for the grant of special leave. Moreover, there are insufficient prospects that any appeal to this Court would succeed if special leave were granted. Special leave to appeal should be refused.
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 with costs.

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The case of Playford Vineyard Pty Ltd v Wishford Nominees Pty Ltd involved a dispute between the two parties over the ownership and control of certain vineyard properties. The matter was heard in the High Court of Australia. Playford Vineyard sought to appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of South Australia, which had ruled in favour of Wishford Nominees. The primary issue before the High Court was whether the appeal should be allowed and if there were any grounds for granting special leave to appeal. Special leave to appeal is a prerequisite in the High Court for an appeal against decisions of lower courts.
The High Court examined the legal issues surrounding the grounds for appeal and whether the appeal had a reasonable chance of success. The Court considered the merits of the appeal and whether there were any significant legal or factual errors made by the lower court that warranted the attention of the High Court. The High Court found that there were no substantial grounds for the appeal and that the decision of the Supreme Court of South Australia was well-reasoned and based on the evidence presented.
The reasoning of the High Court in dismissing the appeal was that there were no errors of law or significant factual inaccuracies in the lower court's decision. The Court concluded that the appeal did not raise any questions suitable for the grant of special leave and that there were insufficient prospects that any appeal to the High Court would succeed if special leave were granted. As a result, the High Court refused special leave to appeal and dismissed the application with costs. The Court further directed the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order to that effect.
