The court allowed the appeal because the magistrate failed adequately to evaluate evidence favourable to the appellants and mischaracterised the instruments in a material respect; the appellants' conduct (seeking bank authentication, depositing the cheques in a safe deposit box and handing over keys) was consistent with innocence and rendered the convictions unsafe, so convictions and sentences were quashed.
