- High Court
The judge dismissed the application because the symptomatic juror was appropriately stood down under s 22(2)(a) to protect fairness, the remaining jurors were assessed and found capable and willing to continue, and the developing COVID-19 situation did not on the evidence constitute the 'casualty or emergency' under s 22(3)(a) to justify discharge of the entire jury.
