McHUGH J:   The Court has considered the written submissions of the parties.  The decision of the Court of Appeal from which special leave to appeal is now sought is clearly right.  The application for special leave, having been made out of time, the application for an extension of time is refused.

The first and second respondents submit that there should be an order that the applicant pay costs taxed as between solicitor and own client.  We are not minded to make such an order for costs. 

The orders of the Court are application for extension of time dismissed with costs.

AT 2.08 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
