STORRY

v

WEIR

[2023] HCASL 183
B31/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from decisions of the Federal Court of Australia (Thomas J), dismissing an appeal against a sequestration order made by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) (Judge Egan) and, subsequently, dismissing an application to set aside the judgment given on appeal.

2. The application for special leave is said to "include" orders made by the Federal Court of Australia (Collier J) refusing interim relief, and orders made by the Federal Court of Australia (Logan J) dismissing an application for leave to appeal the dismissal of the application to set aside the judgment given on appeal. The applicant has also filed an application for a stay of the "proceedings of the Federal Court under appeal".

3. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time sought. Special leave to appeal is refused. The application seeking a stay of proceedings in the Federal Court is also refused.
