The judge's frequent, intemperate, hostile and prejudicial interventions during examination of the appellant's witnesses demonstrated loss of impartiality and denied the appellant a fair hearing; exercising the Court of Appeal's discretion under s.71(1) CJA 1964 the High Court judgment was set aside and a new trial ordered before another judge to secure a fair trial.
