The Court held the trial judge's directions were legally adequate: causation direction conformed to Specimen Direction 20 and was not erroneous; no Woollin/Nedrick or Kevin Brown directions were required on these facts; the question whether the acts formed a sequence of events was properly left to the jury under the single transaction rule; evidence regarding X was admissible for context and properly neutralised by emphatic directions; and the imposed sentences were within lawful range and not manifestly excessive. Accordingly leave to appeal was refused and all appeals dismissed.
