The application for leave to appeal is dismissed because the recall of the medical practitioner did not cause unfair prejudice and in fact assisted the defence, defence counsel's tactical choices did not amount to judicially remediable error, the judge's summing up—though clumsy—posed hypothetical questions and did not reverse the onus of proof, and the grounds advanced do not disclose a miscarriage of justice or an issue of public importance warranting leave.
