THE NOMINAL DEFENDANT v WARDLE
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES — COURT OF APPEAL
MASON P and MEAGHER JA
2 February 1998
[1998] NSWCA 229
Mason P. The application is refused. The court is not persuaded that the
claimant has established that the judgment of Simpson J is vitiated with
appellable error given that it relates to a discretionary judgment. Her Honour
cited Salido and applied it, having taken into account a finding in favour of the
claimant of significant prejudice.
The court notes the second ground advanced in opposition to the application.
It follows from that, it being a proposition with which I would agree, that it would
be open to the claimant if it suffers an adverse final judgment to reagitate the
matter for which leave has presently been sought and to do so in a context in
which prejudice, if any, at the final trial can be more clearly determined.
The summons is dismissed with costs.
Meagher JA. I agree.
Orders accordingly.
