NINTH REPORT
from the Appeal Committee
28 November 2002
ORDERED TO
REPORT
IN
RE
BURKE
1. The Committee have met and have considered the
petition of Robert Anthony Burke praying for leave to petition
the House in connection with a matter relating to the cause formerly
depending in this House viz. that the Judgment of the House
of 15th June 2000 in the cause In re Burke (AP) (Appellant) (On
Appeal from a Divisional Court of the Queen's Bench Division)
might be set aside. Mr Burke's appeal was heard in May 2000 by
an Appellate Committee attended by Lords Steyn, Jauncey of Tullichettle,
Hope of Craighead, Hutton and Hobhouse of Woodborough. By a majority
of three to two Mr Burke's appeal was dismissed.
RECOMMENDATION
2. The Committee recommend that this petition be
dismissed. In so doing, we are not to be taken as indicating what
course might have been taken on the hearing in May 2000 had the
material now produced been available to the Appellate Committee
at that time.
