The conviction was upheld because expert analysis and sampling established the cylinders contained BTM classified as a Category 2 Class 2 liquefied/compressed gas; 43 cylinders far exceeded the statutory exemption; the appellant, who knew or had reasonable grounds to suspect an offence, failed to conduct required evidence‑gathering, instructed removal and misreported findings; those acts satisfied the elements of conduct tending and intended to pervert the course of justice and the prosecution proved actus reus and mens rea beyond reasonable doubt.
