The court held that while background evidence about the appellant's treatment of the complainant was admissible as context, the magistrate erred by using the appellant's oppressive behaviour (bad character) to support and enhance the complainant's credibility; that misuse of evidence undermined the safety of the conviction and required quashing the conviction and setting aside the sentence.
