Leave to appeal was granted because it was reasonably arguable that the Judge departed from established sentencing and appellate norms by requiring an identifiable error before intervening on a rehearing and that the applicant's evidence may have been wrongly rejected on the basis of alleged inconsistencies; the Court framed the central question of when a CFI must re‑assess evidence on an appeal under section 113 and when it may overturn a magistrate's conviction on the basis of its own view of the evidence.
