Failure to give notice of an application for a transfer from the county court to the High Court or to serve the transfer order did not render the order a nullity (Craig v Kanssen [1943] KB 256 distinguished). Sentence for committal reduced from 10 months to immediate release, taking into account the judge’s failure to enquire about representation or invite mitigation (Brown v LB Haringey [2015] EWCA Civ 483 applied).
