    Court of Appeal

    CACC204/1986

    The judge's directions, read as a whole, were adequate; the evidence established that the victim was forcibly taken and detained and that D1–D4, by participating and accompanying the victim throughout the day, must have known the facts necessary for false imprisonment (Count 3) even if they were not guilty of forcible detention demanding ransom (Count 2); D5–D7 were principal actors who initiated the ransom demand; therefore the application for leave to appeal against conviction was dismissed.
