- Court of Appeal
Extension of time to appeal was granted; the conviction and sentence appeals were dismissed because the alleged failures by trial counsel did not cause a miscarriage of justice, the trial judge's directions (including reply to the jury question) were adequate, the jury was entitled to accept the complainant's evidence, the sentence fell within the permissible range, and a publication prohibition under s 200 was appropriate.
