Criminal law CRIMINAL APPEAL NO

CRIMINAL APPEAL NO

Court
TANZLII

The trial court's sentence of conditional discharge was within its statutory powers and appropriately considered the respondent's age, circumstances, and post-offence conduct. Compensation was not ordered as evidence showed the parties had settled and no proof of permanent injury was provided. The appellate court found no basis to interfere with the sentence or to order further compensation.

Court

The Court found that the applicants had not exhausted domestic remedies as required by Article 56 of the Charter and Article 40(5) of the Rules; the alleged prolongation of proceedings was attributable to the applicants' own conduct, and remedies remained available and effective; therefore, the application was inadmissible.
