Issue as to whether jurisdiction lies with the Court of Appeal Criminal Division or with the Administrative Court. If the court were to conclude that the Court of Appeal Criminal Division did not have jurisdiction, then it would have to reconstitute itself as the Administrative Court – counts of knowingly causing or permitting the operation of an unauthorised regulated facility and one count of operating a regulated facility at a site without a permit, in contravention of regulations 12 and 38 of the Environmental Planning (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
