LANGI

v

THE KING

[2024] HCASL 93
C13/2023

1. The applicant applies for an extension of time to file an application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (McCallum CJ, Kennett J and Refshauge AJ), dismissing an appeal against conviction by a jury in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (Mossop J). The applicant seeks to press a single ground of appeal, arguing that the Court of Appeal erred in not concluding that the verdicts were unreasonable.

2. The proposed appeal raises no issue of public importance, involves the application of settled principle which are not in dispute, and is confined to the application of undisputed principle to the specific case. The proposed appeal lacks sufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the extension of time.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
