LG & ANOR

v

THE PUBLIC ADVOCATE

[2020] HCASL 184
M49/2020

1. The applicants require an extension of time within which to file this application for special leave to appeal from orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria (Beach and Hargrave JJA, Quigley A-JA), refusing leave to appeal from the decision of Forbes J.

2. The decision of the Court of Appeal is plainly correct. Accordingly, an appeal to this Court would have no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought. Special leave should be refused.

3. 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 applications.
