ABSTRACT

In exercising its jurisdiction to hear an appeal, the Privy Council has all the jurisdictions and powers possessed by the Court of Appeal in relation to the case. It considers the same grounds of appeal and determines an appeal on the same statutory bases. If fresh evidence is sought to be tendered, however, the Privy Council remits the case to the Court of Appeal with directions to hear the evidence itself54 or to determine if the evidence should be admitted.55
