- High Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant did not meet the high threshold for a second appeal: the High Court did not commit an error of law in its approach to deference (it applied Austin Nichols and Kacem and exercised judgment on the weight to be given to the Family Court), there was no reversible shift in the onus of proof, and no question of sufficient public or private importance was demonstrated to justify the costs and delay of a further appeal.
