The Court of Appeal has no jurisdiction to entertain an appeal founded solely on article 5(4)/s.6 of the Bill of Rights where no statutory right of appeal exists; an application under the Bill of Rights is not equivalent to an application for habeas corpus for the purposes of s.24, and s.6 does not expand appellate jurisdiction beyond what the legislature has provided; accordingly the appeal was struck out as incompetent.
