- HCMA815/2002
The court held that the appellant failed to take adequate steps under Regulation 38B(1); the statutory defences in Regulation 38H were not proved on the balance of probabilities; and the claimed common law defence of honest belief/mistake of fact is excluded for these safety strict liability offences—therefore the magistrate's conviction is affirmed.
