- Case number
- HCMA693/2002
Convictions were unsafe because the magistrate improperly permitted the interpreter to give conflicting and inadequate legal directions to the unrepresented 1st appellant instead of personally informing him, thereby undermining the fairness and appearance of justice; appeal allowed and convictions set aside with no retrial.
