The trial judge's credibility findings accepting the three police witnesses were reliable were entitled to deference; the appellant admitted not wearing a mask at the material time and the fact she had eaten earlier did not amount to a statutory reasonable excuse under s5A(3)(e)(i); because the appellant had submitted a notice to contest and advanced frivolous/vexatious defences the judge correctly imposed an additional fine under Schedule 2 r12(3); the fines and costs ordered were within the statutory maximum and not excessive.
