CaseChat Overview and Summary

The case of *Webb v Hanlon* concerned an appeal to the High Court of Australia. The dispute arose from a decision of the Supreme Court of Queensland.

The High Court considered the principles governing the grant of special leave to appeal, particularly in circumstances where the Supreme Court's decision was not demonstrably wrong or where no significant question of law was raised. The Court ultimately determined that the threshold for granting special leave had not been met in this instance.

Special leave to appeal was refused.
