13 - Cleeland v CCRC [2022] EWCA Civ 5

<p>The Court of Appeal Civil Division considers the applicable principles for judicial review of decisions made by the Criminal Cases Review Commission. &nbsp;In this case the Applicant had been convicted of murder and unsuccessfully appealed to the Court of Appeal Criminal Division in 1973. &nbsp;After five unsuccessful applications to the Home Secretary for a reference to the Court of Appeal he later applied to the CCRC who, ultimately referred his case to the Court of Appeal which again refused his appeal. &nbsp;He made 8 applications to the Commission between the dismissal of his appeal in 2002 and the application for judicial review in 2019 which resulted in the present appeal.</p>
