POWELL COTTON ONEN v (1) GOVERNOR OF HM PRISON BRIXTON (2) GOVERNMENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (1999)

PUBLISHED July 27, 1999
SHARE

Although new evidence had come to light relating to the credibility of a key witness since the decision by the magistrate to commit the applicant, the evidence was not such as to completely undermine the credibility of the witness and therefore it was not appropriate for the matter to be referred back to the magistrate.
