The appeal was dismissed because the prosecution was properly brought, there were no wholly exceptional humanitarian considerations to justify non-recording under section 36, and the magistrate's sentence of a $250 fine with a recorded conviction was appropriate; the court endorsed the approach that convictions should generally be recorded except in rare cases where prosecution should not have been brought.
