    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC459/2001

    The court ordered a retrial for the 1st and 2nd Applicants because the public interest and the gravity of the offence outweighed factors of delay and previous trials; the court refused to treat the 3rd Applicant's abandonment as a nullity because the evidence demonstrated he understood and intended the abandonment and there was no evidence of coercion, undue influence or medical incapacity.
