Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Representor was an 'appellant' for the purposes of Article 35(4) of the Court of Appeal (Jersey) Law, 1961
  2. 2 Whether the computation of the revised release date by disregarding six weeks was correct under the law
  3. 3 Whether 'specially treated' requires actual receipt of privileges

Ratio Decidendi

The Representor was an appellant for the purposes of Article 35(4) upon serving the required form, and the availability of privileges under the prison rules constitutes 'special treatment' so the six weeks were correctly disregarded in computing the release date.
