The Court found cumulative procedural and evidential deficiencies—specifically the prosecution's failure to put its case about the disputed defence documents to the appellant, the absence of forensic or evidential exploration of those documents, and the trial magistrate's confusion about the originals—which together produced a departure from accepted norms amounting to substantial and grave injustice under s.32(2); accordingly the conviction was quashed and sentence set aside.
