- Court of Appeal
Application for an extension of time to appeal against conviction and sentence is dismissed because the delay of over ten years was inadequately explained, granting extension would cause real prejudice to the Crown and complainants and undermine finality, and the proposed grounds of appeal did not have a realistic prospect of establishing a miscarriage of justice (summings up, indictment form, evidentiary rulings and sentence all fell within acceptable bounds).
