The conviction was upheld because the forensic blood analysis showing 130 mg/100 ml (exceeding the 50 mg limit) was taken in accordance with normal medical procedures (venipuncture by nurse, alcohol-free swab) and there was no evidential basis that hospital treatment or drugs contaminated or affected the analysis; the defence's contamination hypothesis was speculative and insufficient to undermine the magistrate's assessment of the evidence.
