EWEN

v

THE QUEEN

[2018] HCASL 40
S259/2017

1. The applicant requires an extension of time, but it would be futile to grant the extension which is sought. This application for special leave to appeal from the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Basten JA, Simpson and Davies JJ) would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. This appeal is not a suitable vehicle to examine the operation of s 294AA of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW). The application should be dismissed.

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.
