DICKENS (A PSEUDONYM)

v

STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES

[2018] HCASL 379
S276/2018

1. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Beazley P and Macfarlan JA) refusing the applicant's summons seeking leave to appeal from three decisions of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Adamson J) including, among others, an order dismissing the proceedings for want of due despatch and abuse of process.  An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.  Special leave should be refused.

2. 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.
