The Court granted an out‑of‑time certificate on the reframed Question 1 because the admissibility of an accused's statements to medical practitioners (and the consequent admissibility of the expert opinion) where the accused does not testify is a point of law of great and general importance that was involved in the Court of Appeal decision; the Court refused a certificate on Question 2 because the meaning of "the settled intention of dying in pursuance of the pact" did not arise on the facts and was not a point of great and general importance in the decision.
