Shaw v MAB Corporation Pty Ltd [2014] FCA 62

Shaw v MAB Corporation Pty Ltd [2014] FCA 62

Leave to appeal is required as the primary judge's summary judgment order was interlocutory in nature, supported by s 31A and/or r 26.01, and the applicant's claims have no reasonable prospects of success due to abuse of process, Anshun estoppel, and lack of legal viability; therefore, the application for leave to appeal is dismissed.
