REGINA v RAYMOND GORDON WATT
JUDGMENT 1 GROVE J : I agree with the orders proposed by Hidden J., however I am unpersuaded that the content of the tape recording of the conversation between the undercover police officer and Bowman was inadmissible and I would adopt the approach to utilization of s87(1)(c) of the Evidence Act 1995 specified in the reasons of Greg James J.
