The trial judge was not functus officio and the conviction was unsafe; the Court of Appeal grants leave to appeal out of time, allows the appeal, quashes the conviction for attempted robbery and dismisses the Application to Review; the sentence on the immigration charge is varied to effect immediate release given the quashed charge and relevant prosecution policy.
