The court held the First Magistrate validly convicted the appellant in his absence because service of the Notice and the summons was properly effected under the FP(CP)O (notably s5 and s6) and the Second Magistrate erred by failing to apply those provisions and wrongly setting aside the conviction; s3B was inapplicable as the appellant had received the Notice and had notified dispute of liability, so the conviction and fine were upheld and the appeal dismissed.
