Appeal allowed; Council's convictions were unsustainable due to defects in the charges, factual errors and procedural unfairness; there is no basis to impose the novel professional duty on director-dentists to verify registration or to imply an annual-return warranty that overrides s12(2A); the Court has jurisdiction to remit but, as a matter of discretion, remitter is refused here and appellants are entitled to costs (order nisi).
