[R v HLUSZANSKA]

 

CA No 371 of 1999

THE QUEEN

v.

SLAVA HLUSZANSKAApplicant

 

BRISBANE

 

DATE 10/04/2000

  

JUDGMENT

 

DAVIES JA:  The appellant, Mrs Hluszanska, has sought to appeal to this Court against a judgment of the District Court given on 28 September last year, dismissing an appeal by her against a good behaviour order for 12 months ordered by a Magistrate against her for breach of section 6 of the Peace and Good Behaviour Act 1982.

 

She has come to this Court today seeking what she describes as a stay by which she appears to mean that she wants an adjournment of her appeal on medical grounds.  There is, however, in my view, no point in granting any such adjournment.  Any such appeal to this Court can be made only by leave of this Court. 

 

When asked by the Chief Justice why she thought the order made by the District Court Judge was wrong Mrs Hluszanska advanced three reasons.  The first was that the learned Judge did not have enough experience with the law.  The second is that she said he protects criminal people and the third was that his Judgment was against the Australian constitution and when asked why she said that she repeated that he protects criminal people.

 

There is no substance in any of these grounds and as far as I can see there is no substance in any complaint of the judgment made by the District Court below.  I would therefore refuse the adjournment which the appellant seeks or the stay as she describes it and I would dismiss the appeal to this Court.

 

THE CHIEF JUSTICE:  I agree.

 

THOMAS JA:  I agree.

 

THE CHIEF JUSTICE:  Those are the orders which the Court makes.
