WATSON

v

GREENWOODS & HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS PTY LTD & ANOR

[2024] HCASL 8
S122/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from orders of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Moshinsky, Abraham and Raper JJ) determining two questions of law reserved for consideration from orders of the Federal Court (Raper J) on 21 March 2023.[1]

   [1] Watson v Greenwoods & Herbert Smith Freehills Pty Ltd [2023] FCAFC 132.

2. The application has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought. Special leave to appeal is refused.
