TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT SYDNEY ON FRIDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 2002, AT 11.32 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MR R.D. COGSWELL, SC: May it please the Court, I appear for the respondent with my learned friend, MS J.A. QUILTER. (instructed by S.E. O'Connor, Solicitor for Public Prosecutions)

GLEESON CJ: Yes, Mr Cogswell.

MR COGSWELL: I do not anticipate an appearance for the applicant.

GLEESON CJ: No. We have been notified by the applicant that he will not be attending Court and does not want to put oral argument.

In this matter we have considered the written argument advanced on behalf of the applicant. The applicant has indicated that he will not be attending Court. We have also, of course, considered the written arguments advanced on behalf of the respondent. We have concluded that there are insufficient prospects of success of an appeal to warrant a grant of special leave and the application is refused.

We will adjourn for a short time to reconstitute.

AT 11.33 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
