THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES COURT OF APPEAL

40313/99

REGISTRAR JUPP

MONDAY 10 MAY 1999 KARIN S RENDER v HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE GLEESON

JUDGMENT

1. REGISTRAR: In this case a Notice of Appeal was filed on 29 April 1999 from a decision of Justice Wood of 19 April 1999 dismissing a summons filed in the Common Law Division, with costs. The appellant has filed a Notice of Motion seeking, in effect, that the appeal be expedited and has sworn an affidavit indicating that her visa will expire in June this year.

2. There would be practical difficulties in allowing the appeal to be expedited so that it could actually be determined substantively this month, but that is another problem which I do not need to go into at this stage.

3. The respondent to the appeal has filed a Notice of Motion seeking to have the appeal dismissed. In support of that application Mr Skinner, who appears for the respondent, has taken me to the notice of appeal. Mr Skinner has argued that the notice of appeal does not disclose any competent grounds which the Court could consider.
