BAINES

v

THE KING

[2024] HCASL 241
S62/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from the order of the Court of Criminal Appeal of New South Wales (Simpson A-JA and McNaughton J agreeing, Dhanji J dissenting) made on 29 November 2023 dismissing an appeal against conviction for murder.

2. The proposed appeal raises no point of general principle and has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
