- CACC567/1968
The absence of the American/extradition documents did not cause real or substantial injustice because they contained little material that would have assisted the defence, the appellant declined to give evidence so adverse inferences from his unexplained departure were permissible, independent evidence amply supported the convictions, and the sentence of two years was not excessive; leave to appeal was dismissed and the sentence was ordered to run from 18 September 1968.
