v
THE QUEEN
[2021] HCASL 195
S77/2021
The applicant requires an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal from a judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales (McCallum JA and N Adams J; Campbell J dissenting). In circumstances in which defence counsel accepted that a tactical decision was made not to ask the Crown to call the certain family members as witnesses, the proposed grounds 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.
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.
