QUEEN’S BENCH DIVISION

IN THE MATTER OF PIOTR STROJWAS AN APPLICANT FOR BAIL
________
McCLOSKEY J
[1] Piotr Strojwas, hereinafter described as “the Applicant”, applies for bail,
pursuant to a written Notice of Application received by the High Court on
27th July 2012. The application contained the following material recital:
“TAKE NOTICE THAT Piotr Strojwas was ordered to be
committed to/at present detained in HMP Maghaberry [sic]
hereby applies to the High Court for an order that he be
released from custody pending his extradition hearing or
while on remand upon such terms and conditions as the
court may think just”.
The application continues:
“Bail application refused at Belfast Crown Court, Laganside
on 8th June 2012”.
The only other information which can be gleaned from this application and
an earlier abandoned application for bail is that the Applicant is a male
person aged thirty-one years who was originally committed to custody
having been charged with the offences of aggravated burglary with intent to
commit GBH, disorderly behaviour and assault on police. This committal to
custody evidently occurred at Dungannon Magistrates’ Court on 16th
December 2011. The Applicant is a Polish national, aged thirty-one years.
The remaining contents of the Notice are of a formal and perfunctory nature.
The Notice is, regrettably, manifestly deficient, lacking in all kinds of
obviously material background information.
