Bailey appeal unlikely to be heard before 2017
Mr Bailey’s appeal against the rejection of his case last March was mentioned to the Court of Appeal yesterday when it was dealing with directions for future appeals.
The appeal was adjourned to February when a date for hearing, expected to be sometime in 2017, may be fixed. Mr Bailey has submitted more than 30 grounds of appeal, many of which are understood to relate to the conduct of the hearing by Mr Justice John Hedigan, including his decision shortly before the end of the 64-day case to withdraw most of it from the jury.
