The appellant appealed his summary convictions for assault with a weapon and mischief to property.
He argued that the trial judge unfairly limited cross-examination, misapprehended medical evidence, and erred in applying the W.(D.) framework.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge's interventions were proper trial management, no medical evidence was actually filed at trial, and the W.(D.) analysis was correctly applied to reach a reasonable verdict.
