KAY SKELTON

v

THE QUEEN

Court:Elias CJ, Blanchard and McGrath JJ

Counsel:B J Hart for Applicant

Judgment:30 October 2008 

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The application for leave to appeal is dismissed.

REASONS

This application for leave, which has not been supported by any submissions on behalf of the applicant, has now been overtaken by events.  It concerned the refusal of the High Court to change the venue of Ms Skelton’s trial on a charge of abducting her son.  No trial will now be necessary as she has this week pleaded guilty.  The proposed appeal has been rendered moot.
