The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal from the High Court, and affirms refusal to quash the conditions attached to a suspended sentence for tax fraud. The appellant's conditions included a requirement that he not apply for registration of a company. The appellant had previously withdrawn his application for leave to seek judicial review, thereby ending the proceedings and forfeiting the right to appeal. The court found that the appellant was fully aware of the alleged breaches of his bail conditions and that the lawfulness of a notice for re-entry of proceedings was subject to separate judicial review. Additionally, the court clarified that civil legal aid is distinct from criminal legal aid and is a matter for the Legal Aid Board, not the courts.
