The appellants were committed for trial on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder following a preliminary inquiry.
They applied for certiorari to quash the committal, which was dismissed by the Superior Court of Justice.
On appeal, the appellants argued there was insufficient evidence of an agreement to murder the victim.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the preliminary hearing judge properly concluded there was some evidence from which a reasonable inference could be drawn that the appellants agreed and intended to murder the victim.
