Special Leave update

So far as South Australia is concerned, there have been appeals given leave. As I (and every one else) predicted Totani was given leave. [UPDATE 18/2/2010: the SG was not even called on, they were, as Gummow J would say, pushing at an open door.]

Leave was also given in Henschke, a very interesting case regarding the nature of property rights in a partnership interest, and, not-so-interestingly, the tax implications thereof. I didn't expect this one: it's a pretty strong court, the Chief Justice wrote the leading judgment and, for what it's worth, I think he was right.

Anyone know what else has got leave today?
