Matyear v Prismex Technologies Pty Ltd [2006] NSWSC 1350

Matyear v Prismex Technologies Pty Ltd [2006] NSWSC 1350

No compelling case has been made that, having regard to the interests of justice, it is more appropriate for the proceeding to be determined by the Federal Court of Australia, Victoria Registry, rather than the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Indicators of a closer connection to Victoria are formally present, but there is no substantial preponderance supporting transfer, and no efficiency or risk of inconsistency is demonstrated.
