The judge materially departed from the prosecution’s pleaded case by treating the prosecution witness as agent of the building owners rather than of the management company named in the indictment and failed to give the defence any opportunity to address that new basis; that procedural unfairness rendered the convictions unsafe and required quashing of convictions and sentences, with further submissions ordered on whether to remit for retrial.
