    The disputed expert opinion did not render the trial unfair because it was elicited by the defence, was relevant to issues of provocation and diminished responsibility, and the judge gave adequate directions that the jury were the sole judges of fact and were not bound by expert opinion; the complaint raised a mixed question of law and fact dependent on trial evidence and was not reasonably arguable as a pure question of law, therefore leave to appeal is refused.
