CaseChat Overview and Summary

The New South Wales Court of Appeal, constituted by Macfarlan and Young JJA, considered an application for leave to appeal in the matter of *Sajn v Kennedy*. The precise nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the application for leave to appeal itself was the subject of the Court's determination.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant had demonstrated a sufficient basis to be granted leave to appeal. Specifically, the Court was required to assess whether the proposed appeal raised an issue of principle, which is a common threshold requirement for granting leave to appeal in many Australian jurisdictions.

The Court's reasoning, as indicated by the catchwords, was that there was no issue of principle raised by the application. This suggests that the Court found the appeal to be concerned with the application of established legal principles to the specific facts of the case, rather than presenting a novel or significant question of law that warranted appellate review. Consequently, the Court concluded that leave to appeal should not be granted.

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed, and the applicant was ordered to pay the costs of the respondent.
