JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (NO 2)

  1. This judgment follows on from the interim judgment of the Court delivered on 19 August 2002.  In that judgment we adjourned the appellant’s appeal against sentence and allowed bail to continue on the same terms to give the opportunity for application to be made for home detention.  We indicated that if home detention was granted the appeal would b.e dismissed without the need for further appearances.

  2. On 13 September 2002 the Parole Board approved the appellant’s release on home detention subject to special conditions.  Counsel for the appellant has filed a memorandum requesting that the appeal be withdrawn but we consider that the correct course of action is as indicated in the Court’s interim judgment.

  1. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
