OKOLI

v

THE QUEEN

[2021] HCASL 11
P44/2020

1. An extension of time is necessary to enable this application for special leave to appeal to proceed. The appeal foreshadowed by the application for special leave would raise no question of legal principle. In any event, the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia is not attended by sufficient doubt to warrant the grant of special leave. Special leave should be refused. That being so, it would be futile to grant the extension of time that is required for the application to proceed.

2. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
