Stanton v Fell

In *Stanton v Fell*, the applicant sought leave to appeal from a decision of the primary judge. The dispute concerned an amount less than $100,000.

The Court of Appeal was required to determine whether the applicant had demonstrated sufficient grounds to warrant leave to appeal, particularly given the monetary value of the subject matter.

The Court reasoned that the mere fact that less than $100,000 was at issue was not, in itself, sufficient to establish the arguability of an appeal. The applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal had a real prospect of success or that there was any other compelling reason for the appeal to be heard.

Consequently, the application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
