Sharma & Anor v Boltror Pty Limited & Anor [2005] NSWSC 790

Sharma & Anor v Boltror Pty Limited & Anor [2005] NSWSC 790

None of the grounds of appeal fell within the narrow ambit of s67 as questions of law; the Tribunal dealt with factual issues and required the plaintiffs to prove their case, which they failed to do. The delay, inadequate explanation, and absence of merit in the proposed appeal justified refusing an extension of time and dismissing the proceedings.
