TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON TUESDAY, 7 MARCH 1995, AT 10.18 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

BRENNAN J:   This application for special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia was considered by myself and by Justices Dawson and Gaudron.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the trial judge or the decision of the Full Court dismissing the applicant’s action for wrongful arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.  Nor is there any foundation for the submission of bias on the part of the learned trial judge and a member of the Full Court.  The Court is of the opinion that the application for special leave should be dismissed.  I publish the grounds of decision.

AT 10.19 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
