WENTWORTH v Rogers

The case of *Wentworth v Rogers* concerned an appeal to the New South Wales Court of Appeal. The appellant, Wentworth, sought to appeal a decision of the primary judge. The respondent, Rogers, sought to have the appeal summarily dismissed.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether Wentworth had any real prospect of success on appeal, such that the appeal should not be summarily dismissed. This required the Court to consider the merits of the proposed grounds of appeal.

The Court of Appeal found that the grounds of appeal lacked any real prospect of success. Their Honours considered the arguments presented and concluded that there was no arguable error in the primary judge's decision. Consequently, the Court determined that the appeal should be summarily dismissed.

The notice of motion of 17 November 1999 was summarily dismissed.
