High Court refuses to direct a constitutional inquiry into the lawfulness of the detention of the applicant, who was convicted in the Central Criminal Court of sexual offences and now claims he has received a “doctored transcript” of his trial, on the grounds that any complaint the applicant has in relation to the conduct of his criminal trial is, at this juncture, a matter more properly to be dealt with on appeal.
Criminal law – Article 40.4.2 application – lawfulness of detention – applicant was convicted in the Central Criminal Court of sexual assault upon a female person and intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to the same individual – whether the applicant received a fair trial – whether the applicant received a “doctored transcript” of his trial – applicant’s complaint is not sufficient to allow the court to form an opinion as to whether or not he is in unlawful detention – application to direct Article 40 inquiry refused.
