NELSON and ANOR v MALE
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES COURT OF APPEAL
KIRBY P, MEAGHER and HANDLEY JJA
6 June 1994
[1994] NSWCA 217
Kirby P We are inclined to give leave. But, of course, as was said, only limited
to the question of application of Limitation Act. The Court would not give leave
in respect of the matter which the Court has been told would not in any case be
challenged, namely, the steps taken by Judge McLachlan to cure the six day
default in time in the filing of the application in the District Court. So, solely on
that basis, the Court will give leave to the claimant to appeal.
The following orders are made:
1. Grant leave to the claimant to appeal against so much of the order as his
Honour Judge McLachlan, dated 9 February 1994, as provided an extension of
the time under the Limitation Act to the opponent within which to pursue the
claim.
2. Expedite to the hearing of the appeal, Category C so that the appeal will be
heard within 6 period of three months on a date fixed by Registrar.
3. Order written submissions.
4. The costs of the summons to be costs in the appeal.
Meagher JA I agree.
Handley JA I agree.
