The summing up was within permissible bounds, accurately and comprehensively summarised the defence and evidence; a specific lies direction was unnecessary in the circumstances and any imperfection would have worked no disadvantage to the appellant; no separate warning on silence was required; accordingly any arguable misdirection was harmless under s83 CPO and the appeal is dismissed.
