The court held it had discretion to terminate a magistrates' court appeal upon the appellant's death; applying authoritative factors it found termination appropriate because the appellant had admitted guilt, there was no one to continue the appeal, no adequate adversarial basis, and no public‑interest or injustice that required continuation; accordingly the appeal and related proceedings were terminated and declared void.
