The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from the judgment and orders of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Buss P, Beech and Hall JJA) given on 29 September 2023.[1] The Court of Appeal's reasoning depends upon its view of the facts concerning the applicant's defence and its assessment of the prejudicial effect of evidence tendered without objection by defence counsel. The application raises no question of law of public importance, of general application, or otherwise.
