SOUTHPORT MEMORIAL CLUB INC

v

RETURNED AND SERVICES LEAGUE OF AUSTRALIA (QUEENSLAND) SOUTHPORT SUB‑BRANCH INC

[2023] HCASL 196
B48/2023

1. An extension of time is required for this application for special leave to appeal from the order of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (McMurdo, Bond and Dalton JJA) dismissing an appeal from a decision of the District Court of Queensland (Barlow QC DCJ). The applicant has not identified a question of law of public importance sufficient to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal. It would not be in the interests of the administration of justice generally or in the particular circumstances of this case to grant special leave and therefore any extension of time would be futile.

2. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
