Teoh v Hunters Hill Council; Hassan v Sydney Local Health District (No 5)

In *Teoh v Hunters Hill Council; Hassan v Sydney Local Health District (No 5)*, the New South Wales Court of Appeal considered an application for review of a decision made by a single judge. The applicants sought to challenge the single judge's determination, but the Court of Appeal was tasked with determining whether any error had been demonstrated in that prior decision.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the applicants had established any error on the part of the single judge, thereby justifying a review of their decision under section 46(4) of the *Supreme Court Act 1970* (NSW). This required the Court to assess the grounds of appeal and determine if they disclosed a sufficient basis for overturning the single judge's findings.

The Court of Appeal found no error in the single judge's decision. Applying the principles governing reviews of this nature, the Court concluded that the applicants had failed to demonstrate any arguable error that would warrant intervention. Consequently, the notice of motion filed by the applicants was dismissed. The Court ordered that the applicants pay the costs of the proceedings.
