R v Clark (application under s 58 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003) [2007] All ER (D) 120 (Oct)
The issue was whether or not the prosecution’s right to appeal against a terminating ruling under CJA 2003, s 58 extends to case management decisions.
HELD The right to appeal granted by s 58 extends to case management decisions, and a case management decision refusing to order an adjournment may constitute a terminating ruling against which a prosecutor can appeal.
