The Court allowed the appeal and quashed all convictions and sentences because the trial was unfair: pervasive judicial interruptions prevented effective cross-examination, the identification evidence was unsafe and inadequately scrutinised under Turnbull principles, and there was insufficient and uncorroborated evidence linking the appellant to the robbery; these defects rendered the convictions unsafe and no retrial was ordered.
