Rainima v Ge Mortgage Solutions Ltd (No 2)

The applicant, Rainima, sought leave to appeal a judgment of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The respondent was Ge Mortgage Solutions Ltd. The precise nature of the dispute at first instance is not detailed, but the application for leave to appeal concerned the court's refusal to set aside or vary a judgment.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether there was an arguable basis to challenge the judgment of the court at first instance, or whether any such challenge raised an issue of principle. This involved an assessment of the merits of the proposed appeal against the existing judgment.

Macfarlan and Whealy JJA found that there was no arguable basis to challenge the judgment at first instance and that no issue of principle arose. Consequently, the Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal. The applicant was ordered to pay the respondent's costs.
