Franklin v Commissioner of Police

The appeal concerned a summons seeking leave to appeal a decision of the Commissioner of Police. The parties involved were the applicant, Franklin, and the respondent, the Commissioner of Police. The specific nature of the dispute and the original decision from which leave to appeal was sought are not detailed in the provided text. The matter was heard by Beazley P and Sackville AJA.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the summons seeking leave to appeal should be dismissed. This determination hinged on whether the case presented an issue of principle that warranted appellate review.

The Court concluded that no issue of principle was raised by the proposed appeal. Consequently, leave to appeal was dismissed. The applicant, Franklin, was ordered to pay the costs of the Commissioner of Police.
