Ellis hesitates over Privy Council
Convicted child
molester Peter Ellis' lawyer says he has yet to decide whether to he will appeal
to the Privy Council.
Judith Ablett Kerr, QC, said last night on TV1's Face to Face with Kim Hill
that the prospect of a Royal Commission into the case had caused Ellis to
hesitate.
She said if Ellis did not file a petition shortly, there was "a strong
possibility'' he could miss out, as the right of appeal to the Privy Council
could be scrapped.
