Ali, R v

Ali, R v

The Recorder was correct to find a sufficient nexus between the counts for joinder, to rule the evidence cross-admissible, and to refuse severance. The application for extension of time to appeal was properly refused as no good cause for delay was shown, and there was no arguable ground of appeal on the merits.
