The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate acted within law in amending the charge under s27 after finding no injustice, the magistrate was not obliged to give reasons at the no-case stage and the factual findings (including inference of the licensee's knowledge and application of vicarious liability under s46A(1) with failure to discharge defence under s46A(2)) were open on the evidence and not against the weight of the evidence.
