J U D G M E N T
_______________
Ma JA (giving the judgment of the Court):
1. There are two applications before the court:- an application for leave to appeal against conviction and an application for leave to appeal against sentence out of time.
2. Written grounds of appeal were set out in the various notices of application. In relation to the application for leave to appeal against conviction, nothing in the written grounds (which have not been supplemented this morning) persuades us that there exists any arguable case for leave to be given. In relation to the application for leave to appeal against sentence out of time, we first see no reason for extending time. The explanation given does not justify an extension. Secondly, and more importantly, there are no merits in the application itself.
3. In these circumstances, we dismiss both applications.
