WILLIAMSON V SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL SC 118/2009
Court

Supreme Court

The Court dismissed the application for leave because the Court of Appeal was plainly correct to strike out the appeal for non-payment of security for costs as the delay was not excusable and, in any event, the appeal lacked merit; accordingly the s 13 criteria for granting leave were not met.

Court

Supreme Court

Leave to appeal was refused because the application did not raise any matter of general or public importance under s 13 of the Supreme Court Act 2003 and did not demonstrate a real risk of substantial miscarriage of justice; the challenges were case‑specific and sought review of discretionary rulings and application of established principles to facts, which does not justify Supreme Court intervention.
