[2013] UKPC 29

The Criminal Code Act 1907 (Bermuda) s.286A(2) and the proviso in s.288(1) were neither unconstitutional nor void insofar as they set a maximum period that a prisoner, sentenced to life imprisonment for murder or premeditated murder, could be directed to serve before being released on licence.
