[HL1240] Lord Bassam of Brighton The Criminal Cases Review Commission referred the cases of Michael Davis, Raphael Rowe and Randolph Johnson to the Court of Appeal on 7 April 1999. It will be for the court to decide in due course whether their convictions should be quashed. The Government play no part in the listing of such appeals. The Criminal Cases Review Commission is an independent body and Ministers could not intervene in the determination of any similar cases that were being considered by it.
