be reviewed by the Privy Council.

Crown Counsel Mr. Peter DeJulio said a Privy Council appeal had not been ruled out.

"It is under consideration,'' he said.

The Privy Council in the United Kingdom is the highest appeal court open to Bermuda.

Recently, the Court of Appeal in Bermuda ruled on Mr. Attride-Stirling's bid to stay out of the Bermuda Regiment.

The court stated Governor Lord Waddington may grant conscientious objectors "total exemption'' from military service.

In their ruling, the appeal judges stated the Defence Act should be read as "excepting from reporting'' for regimental duty any persons "who can show that they conscientiously object to serving in a military organisation''.
