- High Court
The High Court found no miscarriage of justice: the District Court judge's credibility findings and inferences (including that the apology related to an earlier assault) were open on the evidence, the judge provided adequate reasons, absence of visible injuries did not preclude the assaults, and the appellant failed to show a reasonable possibility another verdict would have been reached; appeal dismissed and convictions upheld.
