The way has been cleared for former Sydney teacher Chris Dawson to be tried for murder after a High Court hearing in Canberra this morning.

Mr Dawson is alleged to have murdered his wife Lynette in 1982.

Today, his lawyers lodged a special leave application in the High Court for a permanent stay on the charge.

But Justices Stephen Gageler and Michelle Gordon threw out the application and placed a non-publication order on the details of the hearing until the conclusion of the trial.

Mr Dawson's trial is due to commence in the NSW Supreme Court on May 9.
