Li v Attorney General for New South Wales

The applicant, Li, sought judicial review of a decision by the Attorney-General for New South Wales to dismiss an application for an inquiry under Part 7 of the *Crimes (Appeal and Review) Act 2001* (NSW). The Court of Appeal of New South Wales was asked to determine whether the Attorney-General's decision involved an error, specifically whether there was a failure to consider arguments advanced by the applicant in support of their application for an inquiry.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the Attorney-General's dismissal of the application for an inquiry constituted an error of law. This involved examining whether the Attorney-General had adequately considered the material and arguments presented by the applicant when making that decision. The Court noted that no question of principle was involved in the determination of this matter.

The Court found that while the applicant was entitled to an extension of time to file their summons seeking judicial review, the substantive summons should be dismissed. The reasoning for this outcome is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders indicate that the Court ultimately found no error in the Attorney-General's decision to dismiss the application for an inquiry, despite granting the applicant an extension to bring the matter before the Court.
