Nyoni v Morgan (No 2) [2020] FCA 568

Nyoni v Morgan (No 2) [2020] FCA 568

The application was dismissed because Mr Nyoni did not identify any new matter or basis showing that Katzmann J's interlocutory transfer order should be set aside, and the original decision to transfer was clearly open. The proceeding had no practical connection with New South Wales and had significant connection with Western Australia in terms of events, parties and solicitors with entrenched knowledge, so the overarching purpose of resolving disputes justly, quickly, inexpensively and efficiently was best served by the matter proceeding in Western Australia.
