DAVIES
v
THE QUEEN
[2020] HCASL 99
M148/2019
An extension of time is required to enable this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from part of the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Kaye, McLeish and T Forrest JJA) that refused leave to appeal on various grounds against the appellant's conviction on five counts of arson, that dismissed his appeal against conviction on what was ground three of the appeal below and that granted his appeal against sentence.
The applicant identifies no question of principle which it would be in the interests of justice for this Court to consider and there is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's judgment. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant an extension of time. The application should be dismissed.
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.
