On rehearing the court found beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant, as proprietor and contractor responsible, failed to provide and maintain a safe system of work, adequate instruction and supervision, and a suitable lower working platform; the statutory and common law defences were not established; the magistrate's conduct and assessment of expert and witness evidence were proper and not plainly wrong; the convictions were upheld and the appeal dismissed.
