THE COMMISSIONER FOR POLICE

v.

KELVIN CLIVE JONES  Applicant

BRISBANE

..DATE 27/07/2000

JUDGMENT

PINCUS JA:  There are before the Court an application for leave to appeal and an application for an extension of time within which to appeal.  The Crown has made useful written submissions dealing with the issues.  The matter was listed for hearing today and is in fact coming on for hearing an hour after the time at which it was listed;  so we are rather late. It does not appear that either Mr Jones or any representative is going to be before us today and it has been suggested by Mr Winn, on behalf of the respondent, that we should nevertheless deal with the matter.  While I think there is something to be said for the course which Mr Winn proposes, I would not adopt it and I would propose that the applications which the applicant has made simply be refused.

THOMAS JA:  I agree.

WILLIAMS JA:  I agree.

PINCUS JA:  The applications are refused.
