[2001] EWHC Admin 1153

A decision of the Criminal Cases Review Commission not to refer a case to the Court of Appeal was not wrong where the matters sought to be relied on had, in essence, already been considered by the Court of Appeal and the commission had come to its conclusion having properly directed itself. However, the court expressed the view that the Court of Appeal now could have a doubt about the safety of the convictions and it was entirely a matter for the commission to decide what if any weight to attach to that view.
