HVD

v

THE STATE OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

[2025] HCADISP 27
P39/2024

1. The applicant requires 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 Western Australia (Mitchell, Hall and Vandongen JJA) which, relevantly, refused leave to appeal from and dismissed an appeal from a decision of the District Court of Western Australia (Prior DCJ) and refused applications to adduce additional evidence.

2. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the Court of Appeal's decision. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
