IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY JERROD JAMES CONOMY FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL

[2018] HCASL 205A

P20/2018

1. The applicant seeks leave to appeal against the decision of Gordon J refusing the applicant leave to issue or file a summons seeking to reopen the applicant's special leave application in P19/2018.  An extension of time is required to permit the application to proceed. 

2. By summons filed on 3 August 2018, the applicant seeks to influence the content of the "judgement or disposition" of this application.

3. It is sufficient to dispose of the application to record that the decision of Gordon J was plainly correct.  An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success.  The application for leave to appeal should be refused.  In those circumstances, there would be no utility in granting the extension of time that is sought.

4. 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.
