- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal: the trial judge did not err in preferring corroborated police and bystander evidence over the appellant's account, that evidence met the threshold for disorderly behaviour in a public place, the police had good cause to arrest so the resisting charge stood, the assault charge was supported by witness evidence and contemporaneous footage context, and the nine‑month supervision order with anger management assessment was within permissible sentencing range and justifiable for rehabilitation.
