Ryan v The Queen

This matter concerned an application for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia, brought by the applicant, Ryan. The application was considered by Justices Deane, Toohey, and McHugh.

The sole legal issue before the High Court was whether the applicant's proposed appeal possessed sufficient prospects of success to justify the grant of special leave.

The Justices considered the written submissions provided by the applicant. Upon review, they concluded that the appeal did not have a sufficient likelihood of success to warrant the granting of special leave.

Consequently, the application for special leave to appeal was refused.
