Luffman & Anor, R v [2008] EWCA Crim 1752
LORD JUSTICE GAGE:
[1]Mr Swift, first of all I apologise for calling you on occasions Mr Voss, for reasons which I have no idea. Secondly, if there is nothing else you want to submit to us we will tell you our decision today but give reasons for it in writing. Very well.[2]Having given the matter careful consideration, for reasons which we give in writing in due course, these appeals will be dismissed. Our decision in writing will reach you before the end of the term, hopefully within a comparatively short space of time. I will hand it down myself unless there are ancillary matters either of you want to raise at that time.[3]Thank you both very much for the submissions, particularly those in writing which have been of great help to us, Mr Swift and Mr Dickinson. As I say, we will deliver our reasons in writing as soon as we can.[4]MR DICKINSON: May I ask whether your Lordship anticipates that it will be necessary for counsel to attend?LORD JUSTICE GAGE: That to some extent depends if there are any other matters to deal with. If there is nothing else, then we will not expect counsel to be here.
