- High Court
The High Court found no miscarriage of justice: the trial judge's credibility findings preferring police evidence were plainly open to him given advantage of seeing witnesses; searches under s 11 were lawful; late disclosure did not create a real risk of an affected outcome; and the $3,500 fine for failing to stop was within range and not manifestly excessive. The appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed.
