v

THE KING

[2024] HCASL 62
S103/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from the whole of the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal of New South Wales (Beech-Jones CJ at CL, Ward P, Price, Wilson and Lonergan JJ agreeing), dismissing an appeal against conviction by a jury in the District Court of New South Wales (McLennan SC DCJ).

2. As this matter involves an application of settled principles to an important statutory provision, and given the consensus of views now adopted by two intermediate appeal courts, leave to appeal would not be in the interests of the administration of justice.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
