SMITH v BATES SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES COURT OF APPEAL SAMUELS, MAHONEY and MEAGHER JJA 24 June 1991, 24 June 1991 [1991] NSWCA 251 FAMILY PROVISION ACT, 1982 — no question of principle. Samuels JA Mr Weber, we do not need your assistance despite the earnest argument put to us by counsel for the appellant. It seems to me that this is a very plain case indeed. I can see no error in the way in which the Master exercised his discretion which would justify the intervention of this Court. Indeed, I am content to say that I agree with the reasons which the Master gave for dismissing the summons. In my judgment the appeal should be dismissed with costs. Mahoney JA I agree. Meagher JA I also agree. The appeal is dismissed with costs. Counsel for the Appellant: JR WILSON Counsel for the Respondent: RJ WEBER Solicitors for the Appellant: TERNES and SALIER Solicitors for the Respondent: MALLESONS STEPHEN JAQUES
