    FENEMOR v R SC 60/2011

    Citation
    FENEMOR v R SC 60/2011
    Court
    Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court granted leave in part limited to the question whether the Court of Appeal was correct to follow R v Degnan and hold that propensity evidence may be led by the Crown despite having been led at a trial resulting in an acquittal; the Court refused leave on the other grounds because they did not meet the statutory criteria for grant of leave.
