"This 45 year-old man came to see me today with a recurrence of his lumbar pain. He feels unable to attend court this week. I have prescribed analgesia and referred him for physiotherapy."
"He"
- the applicant -
"has applied for the application in relation to the civil matter, if it be one, to be adjourned. We must refuse that application because both these matters arise from the single judgment and Mr Barnes knows very well the matters that do arise."
"Except as provided by the Administration of Justice Act 1960 (right of appeal to the House of Lords in criminal cases), a decision of the High Court under this section is final."
