RC
v
THE QUEEN
[2021] HCASL 231
S169/2021
The applicant requires an extension of time to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (R A Hulme, Hamill and Wilson JJ). He was previously refused an extension of time to seek special leave to appeal from that decision by Bell and Gageler JJ on 14 October 2020: RC v The Queen [2020] HCASL 208.
This application does not reveal a "compelling explanation or circumstance" which might otherwise justify a second application for special leave: Re Golding (2020) 94 ALJR 1014 at 1018 [11]; 384 ALR 204 at 208. In any event, the proposed appeal lacks sufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant the extension of time that is sought.
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.
