The appeal was allowed and the convictions quashed because the magistrate's findings on credibility were insufficiently reasoned and the use of the phrase "on the whole" coupled with the one‑against‑one evidence and the timing/distance issues gave rise to real doubt as to whether the offences were proved beyond reasonable doubt, rendering the convictions unsafe.
