Tran v Macquarie University

In *Tran v Macquarie University*, the applicant sought further discovery from the respondent after an initial application for discovery had been refused. The matter was set down for hearing.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it was in the interests of the administration of justice to grant the applicant's further application for discovery, notwithstanding the prior refusal.

Judge Humphreys considered the principles governing applications for further discovery, particularly in circumstances where an initial request has already been denied. The Court applied the overarching principle that discovery is a process to facilitate the fair and efficient administration of justice. In this instance, the Court found that allowing the further application would not serve the interests of justice and therefore refused the application.
