The conviction was quashed because the prosecution had not proved beyond reasonable doubt that an independent risk assessment by a safety specialist was reasonably required on the admissible evidence; the magistrate had given apparent weight to expert opinion that the prosecution had disavowed and the circumstances did not establish that the operation was unusually hazardous or that specialist assessment was practicable, therefore the s.6A breach was not established.
