The Court held that Clause 4.5.1 imposes an obligation to check specified lift components in accordance with a manufacturers recommended schedule for the purpose of keeping the lift in good working order, that on the admitted facts no such checking occurred and the periodic examination could not possibly have detected the appalling state of the suspension rope if it had complied with the Code, and therefore the convictions under the relevant provisions of the LE(S)O were safe and the appeals must be dismissed.
