- High Court
Appeal dismissed because there was no miscarriage of justice: the appellant received effective assistance from an appointed amicus curiae, had full opportunity to cross-examine and advance defences, the charge amendment was justified by the evidence and lawful, and the delay and number of appearances did not produce specific prejudice amounting to a breach of s 25 NZBORA; the trial judge's factual findings were open on the evidence.
