CROFT
v
THE QUEEN
[2022] HCASL 120
S180/2021
An extension of time is required to enable this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The applicant sought to have his convictions for various offences set aside and that a new trial be had in respect of those offences. The applicant died after his application had been filed, but before it could be determined. In accordance with the decision of this Court in Singh v The Queen (2020) 94 ALJR 714; 381 ALR 189, it is no longer possible to make the orders sought by the applicant, and so the application for special leave to appeal should be dismissed. That being so, it would be futile to grant the extension of time required to allow the application to proceed.
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.
