JASPER LEWERS (A PSEUDONYM)
v
THE QUEEN
[2022] HCASL 130
M162/2019
The applicant seeks special leave to appeal a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Priest, Niall and Hargrave JJA), dismissing his application to appeal his conviction.
A grant of special leave is not warranted. There are insufficient prospects of establishing error by the Court of Appeal in the application of s 41 or s 42 of the Evidence Act 2008 (Vic). Given the manner in which the trial was conducted, there are also insufficient prospects of establishing a substantial miscarriage of justice, even if error was established. The application 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.
