TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT SYDNEY ON FRIDAY, 28 MAY 2004, AT 9.32 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MR G.E. SMITH:   If the Court pleases, I appear for the respondent.  (instructed by the Solicitor for Public Prosecutions (New South Wales))

GUMMOW J:   Thank you, Mr Smith.  We do not need to hear from you.

We have considered this application on the papers and we now state our conclusions as follows.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal.  None of the matters now raised by the applicant demonstrates that it is arguable that there has been any miscarriage of justice in this matter.  We add that the application for special leave to appeal was brought outside the time fixed by the Rules.  Because the application for special leave would fail, the application for extension of time should be dismissed.

We will now adjourn to reconstitute.

AT 9.33 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
