Criminal Law – Appeal. The claimant sought judicial review of the defendant Criminal Cases Review Commission's (the CCRC) decision not to refer his murder conviction to the Court of Appeal, Criminal Division.

Its decision had not been so unreasonable as to be unlawful, and its reasons had been clearly and sufficiently explained.
