The conviction was upheld because, on rehearing of the trial evidence, the court found the magistrate was entitled to accept PW1's credible observation and to draw an irresistible inference of employment from the totality of circumstantial factors (time 0406 at a wholesale market, appellant's clothing and boots matching workers, pulling a trolley and placing a box containing fish and ice), and any non-production of CCTV did not demonstrably undermine the prosecution case.
