Regina v Kuimba: CACD 12 Apr 2005

In dismissing the defendant’s appeal, the court expressed the view that the Appeal court should be more ready to use the powers given to deter hopeless appeals by ordering that while such applications were being processed, time spent in custody should not be credited as part of the sentence. Loss of time orders had been used too sparingly.
