Criminal Law—first offence.
In R.
v.
Lloyd (October 30, 1961) the Court of
Criminal Appeal (Glyn-Jones, Elwes and Widgery
JJ.) held, dismissing an appeal against a sentence
of 12 months' imprisonment, that a first offender
cannot expect to be put on probation as a matter
of course ;
if the offence merits imprisonment in all
the circumstances then the sentencing court is fully
entitled to impose a prison sentence.
(The Guardian,
October 31, 1961.)
Evidence—expert witness.
In Clark
v.
Ryan (1960) 103 Commonwealth L.R.
486 the High Court of Australia held that in an
action for damages for personal injuries caused by
a road accident, expert evidence tendered by a
witness purporting to be " skilled in the diagnosis
of road accidents " was inadmissible as the witness
was not experienced in the particular type of accident
concerned and the jury could have decided on the
factual evidence alone, unassisted by expert evidence.
An appellate court may reverse the decision of a
trial court as to the admissibility of expert evidence
where there is no evidence that the witness was
qualified as an expert or where the question of his
competency was decided upon erroneous
legal
standards.
