A bankrupt has no standing to commence or continue an application for leave to appeal from orders in proceedings concerning the bankrupt's estate where the right to appeal has vested in the trustee under s 58(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) and the trustee has elected to discontinue the proceedings. Challenges to the trustee's decisions are matters of bankruptcy jurisdiction under s 27 of the Bankruptcy Act, over which the state Supreme Court has no jurisdiction.
