Van EPS v Commonwealth Director Of Public Prosecutions

VAN EPS

v

COMMONWEALTH DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS

[2024] HCASL 323
B46/2024

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Bowskill CJ, Morrison JA and Fraser A-JA) which dismissed an appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Queensland (Smith DCJA).

2. There is insufficient reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Court of Appeal to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal. Accordingly, it would be futile to grant an extension of time.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused.
