No Lucas lies direction was required because the prosecutor's references to lies related to core issues of credibility and were adequately covered by directions on burden and standard of proof; the Ghosh direction did not prejudice the jury because the judge had clearly directed on section 3(1)(a)/(b) (claim of right/consent) and told jurors to acquit if the applicant's account was or might be true; evidence was overwhelming and convictions were therefore upheld.
