Samootin v Shea & Ors

Ms Samootin sought leave to appeal to the High Court against decisions made in various proceedings, including principal proceedings and associated costs orders. The applications for special leave to appeal were filed by Ms Samootin.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there was any prospect of success for Ms Samootin's applications for special leave to appeal, given that leave to appeal had been refused at an earlier stage.

The court found that the applications for special leave to appeal were misconceived and wholly without substance, noting the prior refusal of leave to appeal. Consequently, the court dismissed the amended notice of motion. Ms Samootin was ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings on an indemnity basis.
