QAUMI
v
THE KING
[2023] HCASL 166
S54/2023
The applicant seeks an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from orders of the Court of Criminal Appeal of New South Wales (Bathurst CJ, Hoeben CJ at CL and Wilson J) unanimously dismissing his appeal against conviction for murder, after a trial before a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Hamill J).
The applicant has identified no question of principle of public importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave. The interests of the administration of justice do not support a grant of special leave to appeal. An appeal to this Court would also enjoy no prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension sought. Special leave should be refused.
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.
