The Queensland Court of Appeal upheld the appellant's conviction for grievous bodily harm as a party to the offence, finding sufficient evidence that the appellant lured the victim into a car for the purpose of enabling others to inflict serious harm. The Court confirmed that party liability under s 7(1)(b) and common purpose under s 8 of the Criminal Code (Qld) were properly left to the jury on the facts, and that evidence of the appellant's involvement in the plan to harm the victim was admissible as having sufficient probative value notwithstanding any prejudicial effect.
