The appeal was dismissed because the appellate court found there was sufficient evidence to infer that the Appellant, as administrator of the estate, possessed, enjoyed and exerted control over the area including the unleased land; notices and letters sent to him justified an inference of receipt and responsibility; a purposive interpretation of the statute permits treating such management/control as occupation for the purposes of Cap 28, and therefore the conviction and fine were properly upheld.
