The magistrate erred in deciding as a preliminary point that the Appellant was not prejudiced by the failure to give notice under s.22 without hearing the full evidence at trial; where doubt remains on the available evidence the prosecution must satisfy the court on the absence of prejudice and the matter should be decided on all the facts at trial; conviction quashed.
