- Court of Appeal
The Court held that an order for destruction under s57(3) is criminal in nature and falls within the definition of a sentence in the Criminal Procedure Act 2011, so an appeal lies by leave under s253(2) CPA; further, the question whether post-attack events can be taken into account when determining whether circumstances are exceptional under s57(3) raises matters of general and public importance and leave to appeal on that question is granted.
