The trial magistrate's rejection of the appellant's testimony was justified by inconsistencies and implausibilities in her account; the objective facts (unlocking the bar, cleaning a table, serving drinks, engaging customers and giving no indication the premises was closed) support only the reasonable inference she was working in the bar in breach of her stay conditions, and the High Court will not disturb the credibility findings or conviction absent irrationality or material omission, which are absent here.
