Thomas

v

The Queen

[2023] HCASL 3
B45/2022

1. An extension of time is required for this application to proceed. The application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Morrison JA; McMurdo JA and North J agreeing) does not identify any reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court. An appeal to this Court would have insufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave to appeal. It would therefore be futile to grant an extension of time. The application should be dismissed.

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.
