- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal: the District Court correctly found both assaults proved; s59 did not justify the conduct because the acts were corrective or unreasonable; there was no miscarriage of justice; and the direct and indirect consequences of conviction were not out of all proportion to the gravity of the offending under s107, so the refusal to discharge without conviction was upheld.
