The Supreme Court's jurisdiction in criminal appeals is limited to statutory powers; an applicant seeking leave to appeal from a Court of Appeal refusal to re-open an earlier appeal must point to a statutory provision enabling the Supreme Court to entertain that application, and the applicant's failure to seek an extension under s 11 was noted.
