KC v The Queen

The applicant, KC, sought leave to appeal against a conviction and sentence for historical child sexual abuse. The application was heard by Murrell CJ.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant leave to appeal out of time. This required consideration of the applicant's reasons for the delay in filing the appeal and the prospects of success of the substantive appeal itself.

Murrell CJ dismissed the application for leave to appeal. The reasons for this dismissal are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the Court was not satisfied that sufficient grounds were established to permit an out-of-time appeal.
