RWB v The Queen [2011] HCATrans 34

The High Court of Australia, constituted by Heydon and Bell JJ, heard an application for special leave to appeal in *RWB v The Queen*. The applicant, RWB, sought to challenge a decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal of New South Wales, which had dismissed RWB's appeal against a conviction for an offence. The precise nature of the offence and the grounds for the original appeal were not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the High Court was whether the applicant had demonstrated an arguable case of error in the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal, sufficient to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. This required the Court to consider whether there were substantial points of law or questions of public importance raised by the applicant's proposed grounds of appeal.

The High Court, having considered the submissions, determined that the applicant had not established an arguable case of error in the decision below. Consequently, special leave to appeal was refused.
