Leave to appeal was granted solely to consider whether the Court of Appeal correctly stated the test for corruptly accepting a bribe under s103 Crimes Act 1961; other grounds were rejected as unarguable because the findings about contemplation of criminal proceedings were open, the inquiry was not a statutory or Crown/Police inquiry so its evidence was admissible, and the six‑year effective sentence was not manifestly excessive.
