    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC201/2021

    The judge's questioning about the appellant's telephone to clarify contradictory evidence and the limited request to produce the current phone with defence consent did not constitute excessive intervention that rendered the trial unfair; the minor factual error about phone type did not affect the safety of the conviction; the renewal of leave to appeal against the failing to surrender charge was not timely and the Single Judge's refusal remained final under Rule 42(3).
