Desmond v Bower (CA)

Issue

(1) Whether similar fact evidence can be admissible to prove propensity on the part of C where the defamatory sting is of a specific charge and, if so, whether such evidence can extend to incidents post-dating the events the subject of the words;

(2) Whether the admission of such evidence would be inconsistent with the earlier decision striking out other incidents from the justification plea.
