The defendants appealed convictions for fraudulent evasion of the prohibition of importing of certain goods.
Held: The defendant had produced at trial a bunch of 400 pages of evidence which had not been disclosed to the prosecution. He had contributed to the need for detailed and protracted cross examination. Ways of saving time needed to be canvassed including the courts taking active case management whilst being fair to the parties.
