Case opinions | |
(per curiam) The circumstance that a question is of great importance and that opinions are divided upon it does not provide a reason for granting a certificate. Questions of constitutional importance should be finally decided by the High Court and the jurisdiction to grant a certificate under s 74 is obsolete. |
