Although the magistrate's Statement of Findings contained a misdirection by referring to previous convictions in assessing guilt and certain factual findings (number of women at power machines, that the company did 'nothing') were unsupported, there remained prima facie evidence that the company failed to take all reasonable steps to prevent employees working during the statutory rest period; the misdirection did not cause a substantial miscarriage of justice and the convictions were upheld.
