Head v Evans

The case of *Head v Evans* concerned an appeal to the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales following an appeal from the Magistrates Court to a single judge. The central dispute revolved around the lawfulness of the arrest of a passenger in a vehicle.

The Court of Appeal was required to determine whether the arrest of the passenger was lawful. This involved considering the circumstances surrounding the arrest and whether the police officers had reasonable grounds to effect the arrest.

The Court of Appeal dismissed both appeals. The reasoning of the Court, which is not detailed in the provided text, led to the conclusion that the arrests were lawful. Consequently, both matters were remitted to the Magistrates Court for sentencing.
