TOSSON MAHMOUD

v

VINCENT SUTHERLAND & ANOR

[2013] HCASL 108
S309/2012

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Barrett JA, Tobias AJA and Blanch J) made in the applicant's application for judicial review of orders of the District Court of New South Wales (Knox DCJ) made on appeal from the Local Court of that State.

2. The Local Court had dismissed, with costs, the applicant's application for an apprehended violence order against the first respondent.  The District Court dismissed the applicant's appeal.  The Court of Appeal set aside the District Court's order of dismissal insofar as it dismissed the applicant's appeal against the costs order made in the Local Court but otherwise dismissed the application.

3. As the applicant does not have legal representation, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

4. The applicant does not have sufficient prospects of succeeding in disturbing the actual orders made by the Court of Appeal to warrant a grant of special leave.

5. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
