Mathews v State of Queensland

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 I have previously outlined the history of the matter. I need not do so again. I do not accept that the applicant is entitled to dictate the terms upon which he should be allowed to appear by telephone. The only condition put upon such appearance was that he provide a telephone number. He has apparently refused to do that. He is not here. His application for leave to appeal should be dismissed. The further application for leave to be heard by telephone, without providing a telephone number will also be struck out. 2 I order that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of and incidental to the application for leave to appeal. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Dowsett.
