The refusal to entertain an application for costs made three years after the event, absent a satisfactory explanation, was a lawful exercise of discretion and does not raise a point of great and general importance; accordingly a certificate under section 32(2) is refused because the matter is not of sufficient general importance and criminal proceedings require finality.
