CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of *Re Felicity* concerned an application for leave to appeal brought before Beazley and Macfarlan JJA of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, beyond the fact that it led to an application for leave to appeal, is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether to grant leave to appeal. This determination would have been predicated on whether the proposed appeal raised an issue of principle, a common threshold for granting leave in appellate jurisdictions.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the summons seeking leave to appeal. The reasoning for this dismissal, as indicated by the catchwords, was that there was no issue of principle raised by the proposed appeal. Consequently, the Court found no grounds to grant leave.

The summons seeking leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
