- Court of Appeal
Appeals dismissed: jury verdict was reasonable having regard to all evidence; the disputed police note was obtained unfairly under the Practice Note but its admission was proportionate under s30 balancing and did not cause a miscarriage of justice; trial judge's directions on reliability and expert evidence were adequate; the sentence was within the appropriate Taueki band and the provocation discount acceptable.
