Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MR G.J. PARKER:   May it please the Court, I appear for the public advocate who seeks to be a respondent.  (instructed by Crown Solicitor’s Office (South Australia))

McHUGH J:   There is to be no appearance for the applicant in this matter and it is to be dealt with on the papers.

The Court has considered the matter and is of the opinion that an appeal would have no prospects of success.  In those circumstances special leave must be refused.

AT 11.22 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
