- Court of Appeal
The Court held the trial judge's interventions were within proper judicial management to ensure relevance and clarity, did not convey partiality or create a real danger of unfairness, and the inadvertent admission by a police witness was clarified and adequately managed such that refusal to grant a mistrial was correct; the appeal was dismissed and conviction upheld.
