The Victorian Court of Appeal allowed the appeal against conviction for trafficking in heroin and ordered a retrial, on the basis of a Crown concession that a substantial miscarriage of justice may have occurred when the trial judge refused the jury's request to re-listen to recorded telephone intercepts, listening device material, and the applicant's record of interview. The case involved no contested legal analysis, as the outcome turned entirely on the Crown's concession.
