Court of Appeal orders re-trial after allowing appeal against conviction, on the grounds that: a) the error identified is capable of being rectified or avoided on a re-trial; and b) in light of the fact that a delay would be unduly harsh for the appellant, who has no previous convictions, bail will be granted on conditions.
