Convictions for false accounting and attempting to obtain property by deception were quashed because the Crown failed to prove the essential elements: there was no evidence the appellant made use of false receipts or otherwise furnished accounting information to the firm's accountant, and there was no evidence of a deceptive misrepresentation about the proper legal fee or any authority limiting fees; accordingly the evidence was legally insufficient to sustain the convictions.
