VAN GORP

v

JAMES ASHLEIGH DAVY (AS EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF THE LATE KATE LOUISE DAVY) & ANOR

[2023] HCASL 116
S32/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Leeming and Kirk JJA) dismissing an application for leave to appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Lindsay J) dismissing a summons filed by the applicant relating to proceedings arising out of the death of his former wife.

2. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success.

3. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
