Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Appeal (regional Court Decision) / Leave Application Dismissed

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal should be granted to overturn nine costs orders made in DCEC 1028/2021
  2. 2 Whether the original judge should be replaced/recused from dealing with the leave application
  3. 3 Whether the applicant should be ordered to pay costs on an indemnity basis

Ratio Decidendi

The leave application was dismissed because the applicant failed to show any reasonable prospect of success or any legal error in the judge's discretionary costs orders and produced no credible evidence to justify recusal; the applicant also pursued the wrong procedural route and therefore the application was without merit.
