The complainat had seen the burglar/defendant, noted his car number and later identified the car to the police. He identified the defendant from a group identification, but the codes of practice were not followed.
Held: Though the Codes had been breached the court must look to see whether this had lead to any unfairness, and in doing so the court of trial had a discretion to admit that evidenec. The admission of the identification evidence could not be faulted in this case.
