Also doubt a judge would let the case get anywhere near the high court. It'd be thrown out well before then.
That's not how courts work. The only people who can stop matters going to the High Court are the Justices of the High Court. Judges in lower courts can't stop people exercising their rights of appeal.
Noting that the Code of Conduct Tribunal isn't a court as such (not meant as any criticism of the people or the process, just that it's a sports tribunal not a court), so the next court hearing (should there be one) will be the first actual court hearing. Equity Division of the Supreme Court in NSW usually handle contract law, so that would be the place of hearing. The NSW Court of Appeal hear appeals from there and the High Court hear appeals from the C of A.
