The court held the s24 request under the OSHO was valid and the offence is strict liability with the defence required to raise a reasonable excuse; the appellant repeatedly failed to comply with deadlines without sufficient explanation; the magistrate was entitled to reject key witness evidence and to infer refusal from the documentary and oral evidence; accordingly the conviction and fine were upheld.
