PETER VIAVATTENE

v

THE QUEEN

[2016] HCASL 182
S146/2016

1. The applicant requires an extension of time, but it would be futile to grant the extension which is sought.  None of the applicant's proposed grounds of appeal enjoys sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal.  They do not identify any question of principle or otherwise disclose any reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Payne JA, McCallum and Davies JJ).

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.
