Tipto Pty Limited v Yuen [2016] NSWCA 21

Tipto Pty Limited v Yuen [2016] NSWCA 21

Leave to appeal was refused because the proposed appeal had no basis: the primary judge had considered whether the evidence supported the grant of injunctive relief, no error was shown in his conclusions, the matter raised no question of principle, and costs considerations did not justify leave, particularly given the primary judge's comments about the applicants' conduct of the proceedings and the largely moot nature of the principal relief.

Procedural Posture

Summons Seeking Leave to Appeal From Dismissal of Claim for Injunctive Relief / Court of Appeal Application Dealt With on the Papers

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether leave to appeal should be granted where the proposed appeal raised no question of principle and alleged that the primary judge failed to consider whether evidence warranted injunctive relief.' 'Whether the primary judge failed to consider evidence concerning Mr Ngo, Dr Chaim and Dr Yan in relation to alleged breaches of cl 30.1(c) of the employment agreement.' 'Whether costs consequences justified leave to appeal notwithstanding that the principal injunctive relief was largely moot.']
