[2001] QCA 1

COURT OF APPEAL

McMURDO P

CA No 349 of 2000

WENDY ANN WRIGHT	Appellant
and
THE COUNCIL OF THE QUEENSLAND
LAW SOCIETY INC	Respondent
BRISBANE ..DATE 30/01/2001
JUDGMENT
30012001 T15/RAG24 M/T COA4/2001

THE PRESIDENT: Judgment in this matter was ready for delivery prior to the Court vacation 2000 but the delivery of the judgment was delayed because the appellant's solicitor wrote to the Deputy Registrar Appeals indicating an intention to file an application to reopen the hearing because of the discovery of fresh evidence, and that the appellant expected to file the application and supporting material "before Christmas".

No application or supporting material was filed before Registrar, who contacted the appellant's solicitor and informed him on 22 January 2001 that judgment would be given today. There were a number of discussions between the appellant's solicitor and the Registrar, but in short all that has happened so far is that one short affidavit has been filed.

...

THE PRESIDENT: The application and any supporting material is to be filed by the appellant by 4 p.m. tomorrow. The appellant's submissions supporting the hearing of the application are to be filed and served by 4 p.m. on Thursday, 1 February 2001.

Any material on which the respondent wishes to rely and the
respondent's submissions as to whether the application should
be heard are to be filed and served by 4 p.m. on
5 February 2001. Any reply by the appellant is to be filed and
served by 4 p.m. on 7 February 2001.

2   JUDGMENT

30012001 T15/RAG24 M/T COA4/2001

You will be notified in due course, if the hearing is to be granted, as to time estimates, otherwise judgment will be delivered.
