    PETERS V R SC 23/2006

    Citation
    SC 23/2006
    Court
    Supreme Court

    The Court held it lacked jurisdiction to grant leave because s 379A, properly construed and read with Part 13, does not permit a second pre-trial appeal to this Court once the Crown has chosen and pursued an appeal to the Court of Appeal; therefore the application for leave to appeal must be dismissed.
