- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was declined because none of the proposed grounds disclosed a tenable basis for relief: the judge‑appointment point was immaterial given the statutory framework (including s 58G); the non‑compliant warrant did not invalidate the conviction, sentence or detention and was curable; and the challenge to the minimum period was a substantive attack on the earlier sentence appeal which lacked merit and had already been considered by this Court.
