    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC1068/1979

    Given the observational evidence of repeated comings and goings, the results of two authorised raids and the defendant's role in collecting room rents and maintaining the register, the court found the defendant was 'the person in charge', knew the premises were being used for habitual prostitution and the conviction was supported by the evidence; appeal dismissed.
