- High Court
Judge Down made errors of law by failing to direct the applicant to file formal statements and exhibits under s 26(1)(b) and by obtaining and relying on Judge Sharp's civil judgment (material inadmissible in criminal context under s 50 Evidence Act); accordingly his directions of 27 January 2017 must be set aside in relation to the perjury and false statement charges and the Registrar must refer the applicant's documents to a District Court Judge for direction under s 26(1)(b).
