- Court of Appeal
The Court set aside the notice of abandonment and reinstated the appeal for the limited purpose of considering late-emerging s 27 mitigation because the applicant's late comprehension of childhood abuse was an unusual and explicable circumstance arising from custodial rehabilitation access, and the interests of justice in allowing limited review outweighed finality and the limited additional burden on the Court.
