- Supreme Court
The Court granted an extension of time but dismissed leave to appeal against conviction because the Court of Appeal reasonably upheld the High Court's factual findings that counsel had adequately advised the applicant, the pleas were freely entered, and there was no clear defence or miscarriage of justice; leave to appeal against sentence was granted limited to the question whether the Court of Appeal was correct to dismiss the sentence appeal in light of sentencing guidance considerations.
