The Case
Where a defendant was convicted of inflicting grievous bodily harm, the judge had not erred in his direction to the jury in relation to the inconsistencies in the complainant's evidence. Had the judge said more on the topic, it would not have altered the decision that the jury had reached on the issue in the instant case, namely whether the defendant had acted in self-defence.
