The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal brought by a man seeking a review of the minimum term imposed under rules governing juvenile murder sentences.
The case concerned a defendant who was sentenced after turning 18. He argued that the relevant sentencing rule was incompatible with human rights protections.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and concluded that the juvenile murder sentence rule does not breach human rights. The ruling leaves the existing approach to minimum-term reviews unchanged in the circumstances considered by the court.
No further details about the man, the original offence or the sentence were provided in the available material.
