MILLICENT FORBES v ATTORNEY GENERAL OF JAMAICA (2009)

PUBLISHED March 19, 2009

[2009] UKPC 13

It was inappropriate to bring judicial review proceedings against a Jamaican Circuit Court's decision to acquit an accused of murder, since it was for the Director of Public Prosecutions to decide whether to re-indict the accused, and even if the claim for judicial review succeeded, the criminal court would not be bound by the decision.

PC (Jam) (Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, Lord Hoffmann, Lord Walker of Gestingthorpe, Lord Carswell, Lord Mance)
