(#P56_5160) The way in which the public interest requirement in s.400(1) may be attracted has been described as follows in GlaxoSmithKline Australia Pty Ltd v Colin Makin [2010] FWAFB 5343 at [27]:
"...the public interest might be attracted where a matter raises issues of importance and general application, or where there is a diversity of decisions at first instance so that guidance from an appellate court is required, or where the decision at first instance manifests an injustice, or the result is counter intuitive or that the legal principles applied appear disharmonious when compared with other recent decisions dealing with similar matters."
