FURTHER JUDGMENT
---------------------------------
Hon Tang VP (giving the further judgment of the Court):
1. This morning we refused leave to the applicant to appeal against his conviction. Mrs Panesar asked that we certify two questions which are said to involve points of law of great and general public importance. These questions are
1) What directions should be given in a case where the accused elected not to give evidence in his defence?
2) What directions should be given in a case where a mixed statement under caution was admitted into evidence?
2. We would not grant a certificate. These questions are well settled and this is not a suitable case for certification by us.
