M & F v The Queen - SC 32/2005

Whether the applicant should be permitted to make an application for leave for direct appeal from the High Court to the Supreme Court out of time - whether the Court of Appeal wrongly held in an application for leave to appeal similar to that of the applicant that the Court had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal under s 379A (1)(aa) of the Crimes Act 1961 because, in substance, the application did not involve a challenge to the admissibility of evidence - whether the High Court judge erred in ruling certain evidence admissible despite the applicant's submission that the quality of the evidence had been affected by the way in which it was obtained - whether the High Court judge erred in refusing to grant severance and in determining the degree of evidence as to collusion or contamination required before severance will be granted.
