Chris Dawson refused High Court leave to appeal for a permanent stay
Former high school teacher and rugby league player Chris Dawson is accused of having murdered his wife Lynette Dawson 40 years ago.
Lynette, 33, disappeared from their Bayview home on Sydney’s northern beaches in January 1982, leaving behind their two young daughters Shanelle and Sherryn, then aged four and two.
In a brief judgment, High Court Justices Stephen Gageler and Michelle Gordon upheld the rulings made by the NSW Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeal, which had previously rejected his application to strike the case out.
Justice Gageler said there was no sufficient reason to doubt the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal.
