The application for judicial review was dismissed because the matters and remedies relied upon lay within the criminal appeal/process framework rather than raising a fundamental illegality requiring supervisory intervention; the Court of Appeal had found the transfer to the District Court null, leaving jurisdiction with the magistrate, and judicial review is not an appropriate collateral substitute for the ordinary criminal remedies in these circumstances.
