LADY JUSTICE ANDREWS:
INTRODUCTION
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
THE PROPOSED APPEAL AGAINST CONVICTION AND APPLICATION TO ADDUCE FRESH EVIDENCE.
DISCUSSION
a. Whether the evidence appears to the Court to be capable of belief;
b. Whether it appears to the Court that the evidence may afford any ground for allowing the appeal;
c. Whether the evidence would have been admissible in the proceedings from which the appeal lies on an issue which is the subject of the appeal;
d. Whether there is a reasonable explanation for the failure to adduce the evidence in those proceedings.
However, it is well established that the overarching consideration is by reference to what is necessary or expedient in the interests of justice.
