[2001] EWHC Admin 176
Interlocutory or procedural applications in advance of hearings might often prove to be a waste of time since they could be made during the course of the proceedings when the court was in a better position to assess their merits. The High Court had a limited supervisory jurisdiction over the Crown Court, which itself was a court of record.
