Court of Appeal held that filing and filing knowingly of a witness statement without consulting or obtaining confirmation from the witness can constitute contempt irrespective of the statement's admissibility at trial; Sessions Court erred in dismissing the committal application on the basis of inadmissibility and academicity; High Court erred in treating the dismissal as an unappealable ruling; appeal allowed, lower courts' decisions set aside, committal application restored and remitted to Sessions Court.
