Acting ex abundante cautela under s.119(d) the court set aside the sentences, recorded convictions and reimposed sentences equivalent to the originals in the nine appeals because there were no other merits; the court declined to make a final determination on whether a plea or finding without explicit language constitutes recording of a conviction and gave guidance that magistrates should use explicit words such as 'convict' to avoid ambiguity.
