- Court of Appeal
The Court held the Judge acted within lawful discretion in limiting cross-examination to protect a vulnerable witness under the Evidence Act; prosecutorial errors concerning EVI and related comments were erroneous but not sufficiently prejudicial to produce a miscarriage of justice; admissibility rulings were unobjectionable on relevance and prejudice grounds; the sentence and discount for time on restrictive EM bail were within the available and lawful range; appeals against conviction and sentence are dismissed and a suppression order under s200 CPA was made to protect the complainant.
