Supreme Court held that appeals in fraud cases relying on oral testimony must be heard in court, not screened.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that an appeal in a fraud case could not be screened because its resolution depended on the credibility of oral testimony. Since the core issue required a full hearing, the case had to be transferred back to the Court of Appeal for a proper trial. Consequently, the screening procedure was deemed invalid as it prevented the necessary evaluation of witness credibility.
