- CACC968/1982
The appeal was allowed and convictions quashed because the Section 30 conviction was procedurally defective (defendants were not asked to plead and Section 27 procedure was not followed) and the theft conviction was rendered unsafe by inadequate handling of an unrecorded oral admission, absence of a proper ruling and foundation for photographic identification, and by delay; these defects justified appellate intervention despite general reluctance to disturb factual findings.
