- High Court
Counsel's advice and tactical decision to recommend the appellant not give evidence were within the scope of competent advocacy and the appellant made an informed election; cross-examination choices were reasonable tactical judgments; omissions did not create a real risk that the convictions were unsafe and therefore there was no miscarriage of justice and the appeal is dismissed.
