[2018] HCASL 96
C1/2018

  1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory.  In our view, the application does not advance a point of principle which it would be in the interests of justice for this Court to consider in the circumstances of this case.

  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.

CaseChat Overview and Summary

Stubbs applied for special leave to appeal against a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory. The judgment concerned a conviction for serious criminal offences. The High Court was required to consider whether the application advanced a point of principle which it would be in the interests of justice to consider.

The legal issues involved determining whether the application for special leave to appeal presented a matter of principle or significance that warranted the High Court's attention. The Court had to assess whether the application satisfied the criteria for special leave to appeal, which includes identifying a point of law of general importance or where there is a need for clarification of the law.

The Court found that the application did not advance a point of principle which it would be in the interests of justice to consider. The Court held that the case did not present a significant legal issue that would benefit from the High Court's intervention. Consequently, the application for special leave to appeal was dismissed.

Pursuant to the High Court Rules, the Registrar was directed to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. The order was signed by V.M. Bell on 19 April 2018.
