KC Parcels P/L v Gaudio & Ors [2003] NSWCA 299

Leave to appeal was refused because the proposed argument about indemnity, lien and subrogation was different from the issues addressed in the judgment appealed from, was not supported by evidence at the hearing that relevant liabilities had been incurred, and in any event did not advance a claim against Mr and Mrs Gaudio, who were alleged debtors to the trust rather than creditors of the trust.
