JESSE DEACON (A PSEUDONYM)
v
THE QUEEN
[2021] HCASL 22
M74/2020
The applicant seeks an extension of time in which to file an application for special leave to appeal from part of a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Kaye and T Forrest JJA and Taylor A-JA), dismissing the applicant's appeal against his convictions for seven charges of sexual penetration of a child under 16 years, and two charges of indecent act with a child under 16 years.
The applicant has not identified any error in the Court of Appeal's application of settled principles, nor are the interests of the administration of justice engaged by the application. As an appeal to this Court would enjoy insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave it would be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought. Special leave 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.
V.M. Bell S.H.P. Steward 11 February 2021
