- Court of Appeal
Viewed in context the abbreviated perseverance (Papadopoulos) direction was not inadequate or coercive; the jury's subsequent conduct showed no undue pressure; the s127 and s122 directions were adequate for the issues of delay and reliability; the pattern of convictions and acquittals was coherent with the evidence and ages of the complainant; no miscarriage of justice occurred and the appeal is dismissed (extension of time granted).
