M25 Three Appeal

01 March 1993

The M25 Three - Raphael Rowe, Michael Davis and Randolph Johnson from south London - have been informed that their appeal hearing will begin on 21 June at the Court of Appeal in the Strand (see Statewatch vol 2 no 6). The date of the appeal was announced amid concern at the decision in January by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Taylor, to allow the prosecution to withhold evidence from the defence. Lord Taylor's decision that in "exceptional" cases information could be withheld reverses The Court of Appeal ruling that led to the release of Judith Ward in May 1992.

Michael Mansfield, QC for Raphael Rowe and Michael Davis, commented that "the ruling runs against the grain of justice". He added: "The Crown must at the very least reveal the category of the material so the defence can make some sort of representation on why it should be disclosed and why it is relevant to the case".
