DEDEOGLU

v

THE KING

[2024] HCASL 203
S145/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal against a judgment of the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal dismissing his appeal against conviction (Fagan and Yehia JJ; Harrison CJ at CL dissenting).   

2. By his second ground of appeal, the applicant contends the Court of Criminal Appeal erred in dismissing his appeal from his conviction on the basis that there had been no miscarriage of justice, or no substantial miscarriage of justice, by reason of the irregularities that occurred during the trial. This ground has insufficient prospects of success and is not an appropriate vehicle to consider any question of general principle.

3. The balance of the applicant's grounds of appeal have no prospects of success and do not raise any questions of general principle. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

4. Special leave to appeal is refused.
