The conviction was unsafe because the learned deputy magistrate failed to address the statutory defence under Regulation 38H which had been at least arguably raised; that omission, given the circumstances, required quashing the conviction, setting aside the fine and remitting the case for retrial so the defence can be fully and properly considered with appropriate evidence.
