Supreme Court Judgment on Statutory Rape: Statements.
8:00 pm
Derek McDowell (Labour)
The question does arise as to whether people who have been prosecuted in the time since the register was introduced can now seek to have their entries expunged on the basis that they are a nullity. This is an issue that would need to be addressed if this was dealt with by judicial review rather than dealt with as a simple habeas corpus, black or white, all or nothing approach.
