CRIME
Permission to Appeal refusedCase summary:Did the Court of Appeal err by failing to find: (1) that the fresh evidence disclosed by the police and/or obtained since the trial establishes a miscarriage of justice. (2) That the appearance of jury bias amounts to a material irregularity in the proceedings and gives rise to a real possibility of bias that renders Mr Allen’s conviction unsafe. (3) The prosecution failed to disclose documents that undermined the police case and assisted the Defence case, such that there was a miscarriage of justice.
