SQUIRES

v

THE QUEEN

[2018] HCASL 187
B24/2018

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to file the application for special leave to appeal from the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Philippides JA, Sofronoff P and Morrison JA agreeing).  The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal, it is not otherwise in the interests of the proper administration of justice for leave to be granted and any appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success.  It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is sought.  Special leave should be refused. 

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.
