Zaghloul v Woodside Energy Ltd

ZAGHLOUL

v

WOODSIDE ENERGY LTD & ORS

[2019] HCASL 30
P65/2018

1. The applicant requires a short extension of time within which to file the application for special leave to appeal. 

2. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and it is otherwise not in the interests of justice to grant leave to appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Allanson J, Murphy and Mitchell JJA agreeing) dismissing the applicant's appeal against an interlocutory decision of Master Sanderson of the Supreme Court of Western Australia dismissing the applicant's application for summary judgment or alternatively default judgment.  An appeal to this Court would enjoy insufficient prospects of success.  It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is 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.
