STOKES v RAGLESS

The appeal concerned a dispute between Stokes and Ragless, heard before the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia. The precise nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but the case involved an appeal against a prior decision.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was the right of appeal. Specifically, the court was required to determine whether an appeal lay from the decision that was the subject of the current proceedings.

The court's reasoning focused on the principles governing the right of appeal. It appears the court considered whether the decision below was interlocutory or final, and whether it fell within any statutory provisions or common law exceptions that would permit an appeal. The judgment would have applied established principles of appellate jurisdiction to ascertain the availability of an appeal.

The provided text does not specify the final orders or outcome of the appeal.
