The magistrate's adverse credibility findings, supported by the appellant's recorded admission that she did not check the employee's identity card and the failure to account satisfactorily for the alleged photocopy, meant the appellant failed to prove the statutory defence that she had taken all practicable steps; accordingly the conviction was upheld and the nine months' custodial sentence was within established sentencing parameters and was affirmed on appeal.
