The court refused to admit the four photographs as fresh evidence for lack of explanation and insufficient probative effect; on re‑hearing the court accepted the police witness as credible and reliable and concluded the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant disobeyed a red traffic light; accordingly the appeal was dismissed and the magistrate's conviction and sentence were upheld.

The Court dismissed the appeal: HASDA failed to demonstrate a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds. The primary judge was entitled to reject the asserted oral 'pay-when-paid' agreement and industry practice, to regard the text messages and industry witness evidence as insufficiently probative, and to find the 30-day contractual payment term and the parties' conduct inconsistent with the alleged collateral arrangement; no palpable error justified appellate intervention.

The applicant failed to prove that the events of 20 June 2017 amounted to an "accident" arising out of and in the course of employment and failed to prove causation of a psychiatric injury beyond a pre-existing condition; credibility findings of the trial judge were upheld and the appeal was dismissed.

Leave refused because the Court of Appeal correctly concluded the Agreement was a mutual exchange conferring exclusive use (not a licence terminable at will), the criticisms of the Court of Appeal's approach were without substance, and the questions advanced were either not of general importance, fact-specific or not reasonably arguable.

On rehearing the High Court found the combined testimony of PW1 and independent observer PW2, supported by contemporaneous video, established beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant intentionally contacted PW1's right buttock with his genital area on three occasions; the contacts were not accidental given available space, the appellant's repeated approach and body posture, and absence of evidence of sudden train movement; the magistrate's credibility findings were reasonable and the conviction and 21‑day sentence were upheld.

Video evidence and witness evidence demonstrated the appellant cut into the respondent's lane with insufficient observation and inadequate space, causing the respondent to brake; the trial judge's finding that the appellant failed to exercise the care required of a lane-changing driver was correct, so the conviction is upheld.

On retrial the court found the magistrate did not err in crediting the complainant and rejecting the appellant; the prosecution established the appellant intentionally abused the child and caused identifiable bruising, proof beyond reasonable doubt was met; the four‑month immediate custodial sentence was within permissible range given the child's vulnerability, injury and need for deterrence and protection, therefore conviction and sentence are upheld.

The appeal was dismissed because the rehearing of the evidence (including P2 and appellant's D1 footage) showed the taxi changed into the left lane while only hazard lights were on and without using the right indicator, at a close distance (approximately 2–2.5 car lengths) to PW1's vehicle; this conduct fell below the standard of a reasonable and careful driver and, together with the credible oral evidence, proved careless driving beyond reasonable doubt.
