Miss S E Fitz, Crown Advocate

Advocate N J Chapman for the Applicant

JUDGMENT

THE BAILIFF: This is a review of the Magistrates decision and it is well established that before the Royal Court, sitting in this capacity can overturn a decision of the Magistrate, on a matter of this kind, it must be satisfied that the Magistrate has made an unreasonable decision or has otherwise acted contrary to law.

The Court has considered very carefully the complaints ably put forward by counsel on behalf of the applicant, but it cannot find that any of those matters would cause it to reach the conclusion that the decision of the Magistrate was unreasonable. The application is accordingly refused.
