The conviction was upheld because the trial judge reasonably found on the evidence—including the applicant's own interview admissions and documentary proof of declaration obligations—that the appellant knowingly and deliberately concealed material conflicts of interest with the intent to benefit himself, his spouse or an associate; the exculpatory parts of the interviews were not credible, there was no reasonable excuse, good character did not undermine the finding of mens rea, and the conduct was sufficiently serious to warrant criminal sanction.
