The NSW Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal against interlocutory orders granting leave to amend a statement of claim, refusing a recusal application, and refusing a stay. The Court held that adverse rulings and a judge's direction that a party not speak over the bench do not give rise to apprehended bias, that technical difficulties with AVL did not amount to a denial of procedural fairness where the judge made allowances and confirmed understanding of submissions, and that a limitation defence based on an earlier default notice was not made out on the pleadings where the cause of action relied on a later breach. No issue of principle, public importance, or clear injustice warranting leave was identified.
