The magistrate lawfully refused to issue the private summonses because the appellant failed to produce any material establishing the essential ingredients of the alleged offences prima facie; the refusal did not breach Article 10 as those guarantees do not apply to pre‑summons determinations; no actual or apparent bias was shown; ss.21–22 could not be used to compel CCTV before a summons issued; substituted service under s.115(4)(c) was valid and the appeals were dismissed.
