Procedural Posture

Application to Set Aside Judgment Dismissing an Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court of Australia / Application Under R 39.05(a) After Dismissal of Appeal in Default of Appearance

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Court should set aside Middleton J's order dismissing the appellant's appeal in default of appearance." 'Whether the medical certificate and later explanation of illness justified setting aside the previous dismissal order.']

Ratio Decidendi

The application was dismissed because Middleton J was entitled and obliged to decide the earlier adjournment request on the limited medical evidence then provided, there was nothing irregular or exceptional in his Honour's treatment of that evidence, and the appellant's later explanation of her illness and reasons for not giving details did not justify setting aside the dismissal order.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed.

Orders
