The appeal grounds (omission of parts of the Liberato and self-defence specimen directions and the risk that the jury were not clearly told to acquit if the defendant's account may be true) were reasonably arguable; balancing reasonable arguability with the time factor and comparative sentence authority, bail pending appeal was properly granted and leave to appeal against conviction and sentence was granted.
