Privy Council board
By
DIANA DEKKER,
in London
The membership of the Privy Council board to hear the appeal of Mr Peter Mahon in London, beginning on July 5, will not be made public until the middle of this week at the earliest, a Privy Council spokesman has said. The Privy Council does not usually release to the news media before a hearing the names of those to comprise the board, but could do so because of the size of the case and the interest in it. The appeal follows a Court of Appeal decision in New Zealand in December,
1981, that Mr Mahon, then Mr Justice Mahon, had acted outside his jurisdiction and made findings “contrary to natural justice” when he formed the one-man commission into the DCIO crash in the Antarctic on November 28, 1979.
