- High Court
The High Court held the trial judge did not err in assessing the evidence; the elements of the offence (being followed by red/blue lights, awareness of them, and failure to stop) were proven on the evidence; the appellant's timing and speed calculations were irrelevant because speed was not an element and did not undermine the judge's finding that the appellant must have seen the officer and lights; no miscarriage of justice occurred.
