- Court of Appeal
The Court granted extension and leave because the interpretive question was of public importance but dismissed the appeal on the merits: the evidence before the Court did not establish a real and appreciable risk that publication would cause the applicant's mother extreme hardship as required by s 200 CPA; the Court rejected importing an additional 'direct' causation or 'specifically identified consequence' gloss and preferred application of the statutory test as already interpreted by precedent.
