Shah
v
Victorian Workcover Authority
[2022] HCASL 137
M46/2022
The applicant requires an extension of time within which to file an application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Beach, Niall and Kennedy JJA). The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant's appeal from a decision of the County Court of Victoria (Judge Misso) to dismiss his application for leave pursuant to s 134AB of the Accident Compensation Act 1985 (Vic) to commence an action in damages in respect of personal injury.
The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. An appeal to this Court would have insufficient prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time sought and the application for special leave to appeal should be refused.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
