High Court grants a Prosecutor leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal regarding whether an unincorporated solicitors' firm can issue a summons, following a consultative case stated questioning the interpretation of an applicable statute in relation to the issuance of a summons by an unincorporated body of persons; and the High Court's judgment, which initially found that the Act did not authorize such an issuance, will now be subject to appellate scrutiny.
