Badcock v Pirie Street Holdings Limited [2010] FCA 627

The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate any special reason justifying the delay in applying for leave to appeal, failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the eight-year delay, and granting the application would prejudice the respondents. No evidence of injustice or merit in the proposed appeal was found.
