Flowers
v
State of New South Wales
[2022] HCASL 139
S95/2022
The applicant requires an extension of time within which to file an application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Basten, White and Beech-Jones JJA). The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal from a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Rothman J) to dismiss proceedings brought by the applicant seeking damages for malicious prosecution, collateral abuse of process and negligence.
The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. An appeal to this Court would have insufficient prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time sought and the application for special leave to appeal should be refused.
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.
