Valerie CLARKE (nee Tootell) vy CREDIT CORP AUSTRALIA PTY
LIMITED
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES — COURT OF APPEAL
MAHONEY P and CLARKE JA
2 December 1996
[1996] NSWCA 104
Mahoney P. This is an application for leave to appeal against the order
referred to in paragraph one of the summons with the consequential order in
paragraph two. In order to prevent confusion as to what has occurred it is proper
for the Court to indicate very briefly what has happened.
The judge below was concerned with three matters, the three notices of motion
referred to in the first paragraph of his judgment. He made an order in the
exercise of a discretion which he found he had under s 84A of the District Court
Act. He also made an order substituting one plaintiff for another as judgment
creditor. And he dismissed the third matter before him, a motion by the
defendant.
The application for leave to appeal relates and relates only to what was done
on the first matter, the order under s 84A of the District Court Act. The
substitution of other parties for the original judgment creditor, the City Corp
Company, has not been the subject of appeal or leave to appeal. The orders there
made have been made and,as far as this Court is concerned, they stand. The only
matter that has to be dealt with is the matter raised by the first paragraph in the
summons.
I say that because the material before the Court is that contained only in the
statement under Part | rule 3(7). That is an agreeably detailed statement. It has
set forth very clearly the matters that were referred to but the issue that is before
the Court is, and is only, the matter in paragraph one of the summons to which
IT have referred. In my opinion, the proper order of the Court is that, as a matter
of discretion, the Court should refuse leave to appeal against that order.
Clarke JA. I agree.
Mahoney P. The order of the Court is therefore that leave to appeal is refused
and I think it must be refused with costs.
Orders accordingly.
