The Court held the conspiracy conviction unsafe and quashed it because the prosecution evidence (notably inconsistencies in principal witness statements, hearsay limits and credibility issues) did not reliably prove a single knowing agreement involving the appellant; however, the substantive convictions for soliciting and accepting advantages were upheld because the appellant accepted payments linked to his public duty without lawful authority and failed to discharge the burden under s.25 to show reasonable excuse.
