1977, Jac. van Veen, Democratisering van het recht? De werkelijkheid in de paleizen van justitie , Amsterdam: Van Gennep, →ISBN, page 102:De advocaat-generaal bij het hof, mr. G.H.C. van Dijken, eiste niet meer dan vijf maanden met aftrek van de reeds ondergane voorlopige hechtenis; aangezien de verdachte inmiddels al vijf maanden in de cel had gezeten, lag het voor de hand dat de edelgrootachtbare heren (mrs. Dozy, De Waard en Royer) geen moeite hadden met het verzoek van de verdediger tot onmiddellijke invrijheidsstelling.- The advocate-general at the court, Mr G.H.C. Van Dijken, demanded no more than five months detention minus the pre-trial detention already served; since the accused had already spent five months in jail by then, it was obvious that the right honourable lords justices of appeal (Messrs Dozy, De Waard and Royer) had no problem with the defence lawyer's request for immediate release.
