- High Court
Leave to continue the judicial review is refused because the proposed private prosecution is an abuse of process and without merit; statements in a procedural judicial telephone conference do not fall within s111 Crimes Act conduct, the formal statement provided was insufficient to justify a trial, and the existing s166 restraint order binds the court absent a demonstrated meritorious basis for leave.
