The High Court will reveal on Wednesday whether it will hear an appeal by Cardinal George Pell against his child sexual abuse convictions.

Key points: The court will deliver its findings without hearing any arguments from the parties

Pell's case challenged the grounds on which a previous appeal was rejected Prosecutors argued there was no error and no need for the appeal to be granted

Pell was found guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys at St Patrick's Cathedral when he was archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s and sentenced to six years in jail.

The Victorian Court of Appeal previously dismissed an appeal by Pell, in a two-one decision, leading to the High Court application.

The court will deliver its decision without hearing oral arguments from the parties.

In the Court of Appeal's decision, Justices Anne Ferguson and Chris Maxwell dismissed the claim the jury's decision was unreasonable, saying the complainant was a compelling and truthful witness.

Justice Mark Weinberg said there were discrepancies and inconsistencies in the evidence.

Pell's High Court application challenges the preference for the complainant's evidence by the majority of the Court of Appeal.

Pell's lawyers argued that Justices Ferguson and Maxwell's belief in the complainant was an error that would have required him to show the offending was possible.

Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) argued there was no error and Pell's argument was based on inaccurate assertions.

Editor's note: On Tuesday April 7, 2020, the High Court in a unanimous decision upheld Cardinal Pell's appeal and quashed his convictions on all five charges.
