Li v Attorney General for New South Wales

Li sought an inquiry into a sentence imposed by the District Court, where they were found guilty of participating in the supply of a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug. The Attorney General for New South Wales opposed the application. The legal issues before the court were whether there was an appearance of doubt or a question about mitigating circumstances that would warrant a review of the sentence.

The court examined whether the applicant had demonstrated an appearance of doubt or a question as to mitigating circumstances. It considered the applicant's criminal history and the nature of the offence. The court found that the applicant had not demonstrated such a doubt or question, and therefore dismissed the application. The Court of Criminal Appeal had previously dismissed the applicant's appeal, and the court held that there were no new grounds for an inquiry.

The court concluded that the applicant had not demonstrated any appearance of doubt or question regarding mitigating circumstances, and dismissed the application. The court found that the sentence imposed by the District Court was appropriate and did not warrant further inquiry. The court did not make any orders as the application was dismissed.
