Leave to appeal was refused because the admitted evidence, including the applicant's own statements and the surreptitious receipt and solicitation of overpayments, provided a proper basis for convictions under s.9(1)(b) and for attempts to pervert the course of public justice; the judge's omission to recite every element in reasons did not invalidate the verdict where it was clear she accepted evidence to the criminal standard; prosecutorial comments breached s.54(1)(b) but were not materially prejudicial to the judge alone and did not warrant leave.
