dc.concourt.synopsis Application for admission as an amicus curiae. On 2 December 2004 the Court made an order refusing the application. Reasons were given in this judgment. The Court held that consent of all parties is not decisive. The argument sought to be presented to the Court must be useful and different to that of the other parties. In criminal matters the Court should be cautious to allow the submissions of amici to stack the odds against an accused. The application was refused.
