    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC190/1997

    The judge's interventions, viewed in context of the whole summing-up and explicit directions that the jury are sole judges of fact and credibility, did not deny the applicant a fair trial and any adverse impression was cured; the sentence of 20 years conforms to established sentencing guidelines for trafficking over 600 grams, so leave to appeal against conviction and sentence is refused.

    CACV172/1989

    In exceptional circumstances where no official verbatim record exists and the appellant's case alleges unrecorded judicial interventions, the court will not unilaterally accept a party's note but will order a defined procedure: appellants consolidate and highlight the alleged interventions, submit the document to respondents for comment, then to the Master for comment, and transmit the Notice of Appeal to the Master; respondents have a duty to assist to enable a fair hearing of the appeal.
