SummaryUnofficial

The appellant brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment upholding his conviction for theft by an employee, alleging lack of reasoning and failure to apply more favourable rules, notably the new Penal Code. The Court dismissed the appeal because the sentence also fell within the range of the Penal Code in force and the judgment did not breach fair trial, legality or the principle of the more favourable criminal law.
