Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Renewed Application for Leave to Appeal Against Conviction

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the jury was properly directed on the issue of dishonesty in accordance with the law
  2. 2 Whether the applicant knowingly assisted in the commission of fraud
  3. 3 Whether the applicant's conviction was inevitable due to the judge's directions

Ratio Decidendi

The judge correctly directed the jury on the elements of aiding and abetting fraud and dishonesty. The directions, even if based on the Ghosh test, did not prejudice the applicant and were, if anything, more favourable. The evidence against the applicant was strong and clear, and the application for leave to appeal disclosed no arguable ground.
