KMA V SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE SC 42/2007
- Citation
- SC 42/2007
- Court
- Supreme Court
The application for leave is dismissed because the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to grant leave against Family Court decisions and an appeal following the Court of Appeal's refusal is barred by s7(b); a direct appeal from the High Court under s14 requires extremely compelling circumstances which are absent here given the absence of issues of principle and the factual findings that did not satisfy s106 defences; accordingly leave is refused and the interim stay is revoked.
