MAHER

v

STATE OF TASMANIA

[2023] HCASL 208
H2/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of Tasmania (Estcourt J and Brett J, Geason J dissenting) dismissing the applicant's appeal against conviction. The applicant seeks an order quashing the applicant's conviction and ordering a retrial.

2. The application has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. Moreover, the application raises no issue of general principle that is of public importance.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
