1. Leave has earlier today been granted to this applicant, who has been refused legal aid, to appeal against sentence. Given the time factors at play, the matter is urgent because if the appeal were to succeed the appellant would be entitled to release later this month. It has been possible to convene this Court now to deal with the substantive appeal.
