BAKARE
v
THE QUEEN
[2021] HCASL 69
B77/2020
An extension of time is necessary to enable this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The application for special leave to appeal is misconceived in that it assumes, wrongly, that the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland found the applicant to be not guilty of the charges against him. The Court of Appeal concluded only that there should be a new trial. In addition, it is evident that the applicant consented to the setting aside of his convictions on the footing that there would be an order for a new trial. The proposed appeal has no prospect of success. The application for special leave should be refused. That being so, it would be futile to grant an extension of time.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
P.A. Keane J.J. Edelman 15 April 2021
