- Supreme Court
The application for leave was dismissed because statutory deeming provisions in the Crimes Act and the validation in s 16(2) of the Penal Institutions Act established that the applicant was in lawful custody despite any defect in delegation, the indictment sufficiently alleged escape from lawful custody, and the application did not meet the statutory criteria for leave to appeal.
