Toogood & Anor v Gott & Ors

TOOGOOD & ANOR

v

GOTT & ORS

[2024] HCASL 77
B2/2024

1. The applicants require an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia exercising appellate jurisdiction (Rangiah J). That decision dismissed an appeal from the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2), which had made a sequestration order against the estates of the applicants.

2. The applicants have not identified a principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advance no reasons to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Federal Court of Australia. An appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success. Accordingly, it would also be futile to grant the extension of time required.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
