1. The Court of Appeal upheld the appellants' convictions. 上诉法院维持对上诉人的定罪。
2. The appellants then took the case to the Privy Council, which handed down judgement in their favour on November 21, 1996. 上诉人继而向枢密院提出上诉，枢密院于1996年十一月二十一日判上诉人胜诉。
3. But, more than this, to concede the appellants' views would involve the imposition of an additional punishment or penalty upon the respondent. 更为重要的是，如果承认上诉人的观点，就会对被上诉人施加额外的惩罚。
4. But the view from where those potential appellants stand, and from where couples like Perry and Stier are living their lives, is very different. 但是那些潜在上诉人所持有的观点与像Perry和Stier她们这样生活的夫妇是不同的。
5. In the absence of any access road to the mineral rights area, it remains a mystery how, in the appellants' mind, the respondent is to exploit its mining rights. 在没有任何通往矿产权利领域的情况下，它仍然是一个谜如何在上诉人的头脑，被告是利用其采矿权。
