Leave to appeal was refused because although the trial judge misdirected the jury by including recklessness as a basis for mens rea, the Court of Appeal correctly held the offence requires actual intent and was satisfied on the facts that any reasonable tribunal would inevitably have convicted; therefore the conviction was safe under the proviso and the applicant did not suffer substantial or grave injustice.
