The Court granted an extension of time and allowed the appeal because the conviction was rendered unsafe by failure to undertake the procedures required by ss 9 and 14 of the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003; the first strike warning was cancelled, the conviction quashed and the charge remitted to the District Court to carry out the statutory s 9 and s 14 procedures; publication of the judgment and identifying particulars is prohibited under s 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1985 until final disposition.
