Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was convicted in 2022 of malicious damage to property, unlawful entry in aggravating circumstances and theft, receiving an effective 7-year imprisonment sentence. He applied approximately 2 years out of time for condonation to appeal against sentence only, claiming he delayed because he only became aware of his co-accused's appeal outcome.
