Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GAUDRON J:   There will be no appearance for the applicant in this matter.

MR T.L. BUDDIN, SC:   May it please the Court, I appear, together with my learned friend, MR R.A. HULME, on behalf of the respondent.  (instructed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (New South Wales))

GAUDRON J:   We need not trouble you, Mr Buddin.

The applicant is content to have his application decided upon his written submissions.  The application concerns a sentence imposed by the Court of Criminal Appeal, which court allowed an appeal from the sentence imposed on the applicant in the District Court.  No error of sentencing principle is to be discerned in the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal.  Accordingly, the application is dismissed.

We will adjourn briefly to reconstitute.

AT 12.18 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
