S v Longer (SA 1 of 1999)
S v Longer (SA 1 of 1999) [2000] NASC 4 (8 December 2000)
The appellant failed to demonstrate reasonable prospects of success on appeal; the evidence established that he acted at least recklessly as to whether the cheques would be met, satisfying the intention element for fraud. Sections 245 and 236 were valid at the time, and the High Court correctly refused condonation.
