ROBERT ARTHUR MEADE

v

THE QUEEN

[2016] HCASL 191
M30/2016

1. The applicant requires an extension of time in which to bring this application for special leave.  He has provided a satisfactory explanation for the delay.  However there is no utility in an order dispensing with the time limit:  the application, considered with the proposed amendments to the summary of argument that are the subject of the summons filed on 17 May 2016, does not raise any question of law suitable for the grant of special leave.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria.  Special leave is refused and the summons dismissed.     

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.
