The defendant had been given a conditional discharge for an offence of exposure. He was convicted of a further unrelated minor offence, and the question arose of the requirement for notification under the 2003 Act for the original offence.
Held: His appeal was allowed. The Court of Appeal did have jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Some elements of the notification scheme did differentiate among less serious offences, and did not require notification in these circumstances.
