JUDGMENT 1. By a letter filed 27 June 2022, Onur Dedeoglu seeks review under r 6.1 of the Supreme Court (Criminal Appeal) Rules 2021 (NSW) (the "Criminal Appeal Rules") of various decisions of the Registrar of the Court of Criminal Appeal refusing to make orders under s 12 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1912 (NSW). The power to review such decisions can be exercised by a "Judge of the Supreme Court designated by the Chief Justice in the same manner as they may be exercised by the court, and subject to the same provisions" (Criminal Appeal Act, s 22(1)). The Chief Justice has designated all judges of the Common Law Division as having that power (and the other powers listed in s 22). For the reasons that follow the application for review will be dismissed.
