TRUONG

v

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS & ANOR

[2024] HCASL 6
S134/2023

1. The applicant seeks an extension of time within which to bring his application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Ward P, Brereton JA and Griffiths A‑JA) which refused leave for an extension of time in that Court and dismissed the applicant’s summons seeking judicial review of a decision of the District Court of New South Wales (Judge Shead) which, in turn, had dismissed the applicant’s appeal from conviction in respect of his conviction by a magistrate in the Local Court at Campbelltown. The applicant’s proposed grounds of appeal in this Court would have no prospects of success. No question of principle is raised which is suitable for the grant of special leave to appeal. An extension of time would be futile and should be refused.

2. Special leave to appeal is refused.
