The appellant appealed his conviction for a sexual offence, arguing the trial judge failed to properly apply the W.D. principles and adequately explain the reasons for conviction.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding the trial judge properly applied the law and had ample evidence to convict.
The Crown appealed the sentence, and while the Court agreed the sentence constituted an error in principle, it declined to set it aside as the sentence had already been fully served.
Both the appeal and cross-appeals were dismissed.
