Brooks v The King

The applicant, Brooks, sought to appeal against a sentence imposed by the court. The appeal was heard by Acting Livesey CJ and David J.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had any arguable grounds for appeal against the sentence, and consequently, whether an extension of time to lodge the appeal should be granted.

The court found that the applicant's proposed grounds of appeal lacked merit. As a result, the court determined that there was no utility in granting an extension of time to file the appeal or in granting permission to appeal against the sentence.

The applications for an extension of time and for permission to appeal were dismissed.
