Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MR R.D. ELLIS: I appear for the Crown, if the Court pleases. (instructed by S.E. O'Connor, Director of Public Prosecutions (New South Wales))

McHUGH J: The Court has considered the written submissions of the parties. The application for special leave is made out of time but, in the circumstances described in the material submitted to the Court, there should be an order extending the time. Nevertheless, we are not persuaded that it is arguable that there has been a miscarriage of justice in the conviction or sentencing of the applicant. Accordingly, the application for special leave to appeal is refused.

AT 2.07 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
