- CACC289/2015
All complaints lacked merit: applicant consented to English trial so interpretation delays did not cause unfairness; only one expert report was placed in evidence and oral evidence covered ranges cited so no jury confusion; correction of VRI timing was made before summing‑up, was explained to the jury and did not prejudice the defence (indeed it advantaged the applicant); judge properly exercised discretion in refusing to reopen the defence and there was no evidence of intimidation; accordingly leave to appeal and an appeal aid certificate were refused.
