O’Connell, Regina (on The Application of) v Westminster Magistrates’ Court: Admn 6 Dec 2017

The claimant sought judicial review of his committal to prison for non compliance with confiscation order. The committal was sought some 11 years after the order had been made.
Held: The application failed. There had been very considerable delay, but such cases are not settled by the simple issue of timed passed, but rather by that element among the others present in the particular case.
