v
THE
QUEEN
Court: Tipping, McGrath and Anderson JJ
Counsel:
M Starling for Appellants
F E Guy Kidd and M J Inwood for
Crown
Judgment: 28 March 2006
JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
[1] Leave to appeal is granted in both these cases,
which have been considered
together as they raise common
issues.
[2] The ground approved, in terms of Rule 29, is
whether, before allowing the
Solicitor-General’s appeals,
the Court of Appeal should, in the circumstances of the
present cases, have expressly offered the appellants the
opportunity to appeal against their convictions and thereby
to seek their setting aside and the remission of the cases
to the District Court for reconsideration of their
pleas.
