Court stayed trial pending Constitutional Court determination, noting prison officials erred in refusing to commission affidavits.
* Constitutional law – stay of criminal proceedings – principles: prima facie likelihood of success, irreparable harm, balance of convenience. * Criminal procedure – commissioning of affidavits by remand prisoners – prison officials may not refuse commissioning for disbelief in contents; Commissioners of Oaths only administer oath. * Jurisdiction – trial not under international crimes regime where events predated constitution of International Crimes Division; challenge to designation amenable to Constitutional Court review.
