The Court of Appeal accepted jurisdiction and granted leave under the Order in Council because the appeal raised a pure question as to the Court's own statutory jurisdiction (civil v criminal characterisation) and that question was one of great general and public importance suitable for referral under Rule 2(b); therefore it was competent to permit the decision on jurisdiction to be considered by the Judicial Committee.
