Practitioner D3 v ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal

The applicant, Practitioner D3, sought leave to appeal out of time against a decision of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The specific nature of the dispute before the Tribunal is not detailed in the provided text, but the application concerned the principles governing extensions of time for appeals. The application was heard by Murrell CJ.

The central legal issue before Murrell CJ was whether to grant an extension of time for Practitioner D3 to file an appeal. This required consideration of the established principles for granting such extensions, including the length of the delay, the reasons provided for the delay, and whether the case raised questions of general importance or wider public interest that warranted an out-of-time appeal.

Murrell CJ refused the application for leave to appeal out of time. While the specific reasons for the refusal are not elaborated in the provided text, the decision indicates that the threshold for granting an extension of time, particularly when considering factors such as the length and reasons for delay and the public interest, was not met in this instance.
