Held

  1. The court stated that the appeal raised the Assange point, which had already been decided against the appellant.
  2. The court found no substance in the matter before it.
  3. A consent order clearly established that the appeal had been withdrawn. Mr Justice Collins therefore formally dismissed the appeal.
