Appeal Determined (QCA)
[2020] QCA 86
28 Apr 2020
Appeal against conviction allowed, conviction set aside; evidence did not establish that emails sent by accused (or, if it mattered, received by complainant) in Queensland (per curiam); retrial should be ordered in circumstances where defence effectively conceded jurisdiction at trial, depriving Crown of opportunity to call evidence curing deficiency, which might be available, giving rise to unfairness: Morrison JA, Philippides JA (McMurdo JA dissenting).
