- Court of Appeal
Leave to appeal out of time was declined because the long unexplained delay, the appellant's misapprehension that Zhang applied to his sentence at the time, and the limited merits of the proposed appeal (the sentence was not manifestly excessive and the Judge had considered background material and applied an appropriate starting point and plea discount) meant the interests of justice did not justify an extension, notwithstanding admission of the s 27 report as evidence.
