The Supreme Court will hear two appeals this week commencing with the two day hearing of R v Gnango on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 July 2011 to be heard by Lords Phillips, Brown, Judge, Kerr, Clarke, Dyson and Wilson. In a case concerning a public exchange of gunfire, the Court is to decide whether, and in what circumstances, a defendant is guilty of murder of a third party if two defendants voluntarily fight with reciprocal intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to each other, both foreseeing the other’s intention, but the other defendant mistakenly kills the third party during the fight. The Supreme Court case details are here.
The second appeal in the Supreme Court this week is In the matter of Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander Limited (in administration) and In the matter of the Insolvency Act 1986 which is to be heard on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 July 2011 by Lord Hope, Lord Walker, Lady Hale, Lord Collins of Mapesbury and Lord Clarke. The Supreme Court will consider the rule in Cherry v Boultbee (1839) 4 My & Cr 442 deciding whether it is compatible with the principle against double proof in insolvency and whether it is limited to seeking an indemnity in respect of sums actually paid. Here are the Supreme Court case details.
The following appeals are due to handed down in the Supreme Court on Wednesday 13 July 2011: Home Office v Tariq, heard 24 – 27 January 2011, and Al Rawi and others v The Security Service and others, heard 24 -27 January 2011.
There are no appeals to be heard or judgments to be handed down in the Privy Council this week.
