- Court of Appeal
The Court held the complainant could properly give evidence about her perception of community values and the resulting delay (which met the s44(3) threshold), the Instagram photographs were irrelevant or of little probative value and their exclusion was not erroneous, oral evidence of the Facebook messages was admissible under s27 given sufficient evidence attributing them to the appellant, and the jury verdicts were not unreasonable in light of the strong Crown case; appeal dismissed.
