The court held that the planks constituted a 'working platform' in ordinary meaning, the deceased was lawfully on the platform within the scope of his employment, and the appellant failed to provide the statutory safety measures required by Regulation 45(a); the learned Magistrate did not misapply the burden of proof and the conviction was therefore upheld.
