The appeal is allowed and the conviction quashed because the trial judge's manner and extent of questioning crossed the permissible bounds and created a perception that he had joined the adversarial role, thereby rendering the trial unfair and the conviction unsafe; this procedural unfairness alone justified overturning the conviction notwithstanding the underlying evidential issues about safety systems.
