Special leave application results
1 The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Meagher, Gleeson and Brereton JJA) dismissing the applicant's appeal from the orders of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Fagan J) that there be judgment for the respondent against the applicant in the sum of $4,317,316.07, and costs, for primary tax and Medicare levy, administrative penalties and interest, in respect of the 2002 to 2013 years of income.
2 The applicant advances no question of law or other reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's decision. Nor is the application assisted by the bundle of bonds and other documents which were yesterday delivered to the Registry under cover of a letter dated 4 November 2019 and apparently signed by the applicant. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success. The application for special leave must be rejected.
3 Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
