R v Clark [2023] EWCA Crim 309: a mere administrative error or an invalid committal? – Guildhall Chambers
‘This case found its way to the Court of Appeal by way of an appeal against sentence. Before considering that sentence, the Court had to resolve a question raised by the Registrar of Criminal Appeals about the lawfulness of the sentence passed in the Crown Court because of procedural errors at the first hearing in the magistrates’ court.’
Guildhall Chambers, 8th September 2023
