Westpac Banking Corporation & Anor v Lenthall & Ors

In the High Court of Australia, Westpac Banking Corporation and Westpac Life Insurance Services Limited sought special leave to appeal against a decision involving Gregory John Lenthall and Justkapital Litigation Pty Limited. The precise nature of the dispute and the decision under appeal were not detailed in the provided transcript.

The primary legal issue before the High Court was whether to grant special leave to appeal. This involves determining if the case raises a question of law that is of general public importance, or if there is another compelling reason for the High Court to hear the appeal.

Justices Gordon and Edelman considered the application for special leave. Their Honours determined that special leave to appeal should be granted. The court indicated that further directions regarding the timing and conduct of the appeal would be communicated to the parties.
