R v Danishyar [2023] NSWSC 922

After reviewing the material, the Court was not satisfied that any of the Crime Commission evidence had a material bearing on the trial or was required to be disclosed to the Crown or accused in the interests of justice under s 45(5) of the Crime Commission Act 2012 (NSW); none of the content was exculpatory, inculpatory, or otherwise relevant to the anticipated issues, and thus refusal was appropriate.
