ELFAR
v
THE QUEEN
[2020] HCASL 28
B51/2019
B52/2019
Each applicant seeks an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Gotterson, Morrison and McMurdo JJA) dismissing his appeal against conviction in the Supreme Court of Queensland of charges of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, namely cocaine, and of possessing the same.
Neither applicant has identified any prejudice arising from his compulsory examination by the Australian Crime Commission sufficient to engage the principles in Strickland v Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (2018) 93 ALJR 1; 361 ALR 23. Any appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospect of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. It would be futile to grant the extension of time sought.
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.
