- HCA1478/2017
The court dismissed the late application because the asserted COVID-19 health concern was not shown to be a real deterrent (no objective vulnerability or persuasive subjective evidence), the application was tactical and unreasonably late, and remote testimony of a key witness was unsatisfactory; therefore dismissal was warranted.
