Bassem Abou-Lokmeh v Harbour Radio Pty Limited

BASSEM ABOU-LOKMEH

v

HARBOUR RADIO PTY LIMITED & ORS
[2017] HCASL 18
S235/2016

1. The applicant requires an extension of time, but it would be futile to grant the extension which is sought. 

2. The application for special leave to appeal does not raise a question of general importance.  None of the applicant's proposed appeal grounds enjoys sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave.  Special leave should be refused with costs.

3. 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.
