Briggs v Baptiste

Details

Type: Case

Citation: [2000] 2 AC 40, PC

Summary: Applicant sentenced to death — Since applicant no constitutional right to compel state to comply with international court’s orders or to adopt international commission’s recommendation of commutation, and nothing relevant to advisory committee’s consideration of case remained to be determined by commission or international court, due process had been completed and so carrying out death sentence would not infringe his constitutional right not to be deprived of life except by due process — Repeated readings of warrants for execution merely matter to be taken into account by advisory committee and did not constitute cruel and unusual treatment
