The Court lacked jurisdiction to hear the proposed appeal; the comment on the Court of Appeal's jurisdiction was non‑essential to the decision; Wild J's decision was under s 61A(3); all submissions were considered; none demonstrated a risk of miscarriage of justice or raised matters of public or general importance; accordingly the application to recall is dismissed.

Leave to appeal was refused because the proposed appeal did not raise a question of public or general importance and did not disclose an apparent miscarriage of justice, and therefore did not satisfy s13 of the Supreme Court Act 2003; the repeal of the Wool Board Act 1997 meant the issues had no broader significance beyond the parties.
