The initial stage of the appeal is to secure leave to appeal. That is, to convince the Court of appeal that they have jurisdiction to either reopen Keogh's previous appeal, or to reconsider the conviction in the light of the claims being made viz that the conviction was obtained either by fraud, deceit or manifest error.
