Court of Appeal

Because the appellant failed to file required written submissions and failed to appear after being warned and given an opportunity to cure non‑compliance, the Court properly exercised its power under s 338(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 to dismiss the application for leave to appeal out of time.

• Appeal out of time
• Dismissal for want of prosecution
• Non‑compliance with court rules
• Exploitation of temporary worker
• Providing false or misleading information
