The appeal is allowed because the magistrate failed to enquire into the allegation that Immigration Officers misrepresented the likely sentence, which could have induced the guilty plea; therefore conviction is quashed, sentence set aside and the matter remitted to a magistrate (not the original magistrate) to investigate the basis for withdrawal of the plea and proceed as appropriate.
