Lesley Jane Martin - SC 9/2005

Appeal against conviction for attempted murder - whether the Court of Appeal's application of the proviso in s385(1) Crimes Act 1961 was erroneous in law or in fact - whether breach of the right to fair trial, as guaranteed by the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, is so fundamental a breach that it will ipso facto give rise to a substantial miscarriage of justice.
