Failure to inform the former spouse that she was not compellable was not a material irregularity in the circumstances because she was willing and the evidence against the applicant was overwhelming; the judge's interventions, while sometimes strongly worded, did not amount to taking over the case or create a perception of bias sufficient to vitiate the trial; and the absence of a formal witness statement from the potential witness caused no realistic risk of prejudice to the defence.
