- Court of Appeal
All three applications for leave to pursue second appeals are refused because the statutory criteria for leave were not met: the assault involving spitting was a separate factual incident occurring while the applicant was restrained and did not raise a matter of general or public importance; the benefit fraud sentence was within the available range and not manifestly excessive; and a s147 dismissal cannot be relied on after the entry of a guilty plea nor was there any ruling to appeal.
