The Supreme Court of Appeal considered an application for reconsideration of its earlier refusal of special leave to appeal in a murder matter. The judgment discusses the section 17(2)(f) threshold, the medical evidence on the deceased's injuries, and the applicant's argument that the cause of death was uncertain. The order confirmed the dismissal of the application for special leave to appeal.
This may be relevant to criminal appeal practice and section 17(2)(f) reconsideration applications.
