This week’s digest considers two judgments, both from the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division). R. v Aziz (Ayman) concerned a judicial review challenge, by a young offender convicted of the murder and rape of a 14-year-old girl, to an excepting direction which discharged a reporting restriction order imposed under the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 s.45(3). In R v. MR the Court considered an application for leave to appeal against sentence following refusal by the single judge.
