Yeboah v The Queen

In the matter of *Yeboah v The Queen*, the applicant, Yeboah, sought bail pending the determination of an appeal to the Court of Appeal. The application was heard by Elkaim J.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant should be granted bail. This involved an assessment of the strength of the applicant's proposed appeal and whether exceptional circumstances warranted the grant of bail. A secondary issue concerned an application in respect of fresh evidence.

Elkaim J refused the application for bail, finding that the appeal application did not possess a marked degree of strength. The application concerning fresh evidence was adjourned to be heard by the Court of Appeal.
