JOHN HIGGS

v

THE QUEEN

[2016] HCASL 259
M68/2016

1. The application for special leave to appeal does not raise a question of general importance.  None of the applicant's proposed appeal grounds enjoys sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave.  Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the order for an extension of time that is sought.

2. 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.
