1. This matter comes before us as an application to treat an earlier abandonment of an application for leave to appeal against sentence as a nullity. For the rather unusual reasons, which we shall come to, and despite the fact that this is a very late application indeed, we can indicate straightaway that we are prepared to treat this hearing as the hearing of an application for leave to appeal against sentence.
