LAWTON

v

THE QUEEN

[2020] HCASL 233
S102/2020

1. This is an application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Bathurst CJ, Hoeben CJ at CL and Bellew J).  An extension of time is required for this application to proceed.  The application for special leave to appeal does not raise any question of general principle.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal.  It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time. The application should be dismissed.

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.
