- CACC125/2003
Convictions of D1 and D3 were quashed because the trial judge wrongly imposed a persuasive reverse onus under s.47 and the court could not say a properly directed jury would inevitably have convicted; D2's appeal was dismissed because the factual misdirections were immaterial on the evidence, the secret recording, though a privacy breach, was admissible after balancing public interest and fairness, no conflict or incompetence of counsel was demonstrated, and other grounds lacked substance.
