Sexton
v
the king
[2023] HCASL 22
A23/2022
The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of South Australia (Livesey P, David JA and Stanley AJA). The proposed grounds of appeal have insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal and the effect of the amendment to s 34P(2)(a) of the Evidence Act 1929 (SA) by the Statutes Amendment (Child Sexual Abuse) Act 2021 (SA) is that this case is an unsuitable vehicle to examine the issues of law raised in the applicant's first proposed ground of appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time. The application should be dismissed.
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.
