v

SIMPSON & ANOR

[2023] HCASL 177
S95/2023

1. The applicant seeks an extension of time for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) Appellate Jurisdiction (Tree, Christie and Schonell JJ) dismissing the applicant's appeal from a decision of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) at first instance (Aldridge J) where final parenting orders were made in relation to a child of the applicant and first respondent.

2. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the unanimous decision of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) Appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, any appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success and it would be futile to grant the extension of time sought. Special leave should be refused.

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.
