R v MEEKINS
[1998] SASC6794

Court of Criminal Appeal

Coram: Millhouse J, Perry & Nyland JJ

Millhouse J

1. This is an application for leave to appeal against sentence.

2. It is made to the Court of Criminal Appeal in private following the rejection of the application by a single judge.  It was considered in private in conformity with the rules of court by a Court consisting of Millhouse, Perry & Nyland JJ.

3. In our opinion the appeal is not reasonably arguable: the sentence imposed by the learned judge was entirely appropriate.  Leave to appeal is therefore refused.

4. I direct that the parties be advised of this decision and be provided with a record of what has occurred today.
