The conviction was unsafe and perverse because the prosecution's key witness retracted material allegations, other evidence (including contemporaneous procedure, radio transcript of seeking breathalyser assistance, and corroborating police testimony) supported the appellant's account, and the overall inherent probabilities favoured innocence; therefore the Court must intervene under the substantial and grave injustice ground and quash the conviction.
