R v DEREK WRIGHT (2000)

PUBLISHED May 15, 2000
SHARE

Defendant's appeal against actual bodily harm conviction dismissed because: (i) any inconsistency in the jury's verdict had not been Wednesbury unreasonable; and (ii) the inappropriate admission of evidence of the defendant's dismissal from his employment after unsubstantiated allegations of racism against him had not prejudiced his case because the alternative count of racially motivated assault had been rejected by the jury.
