Convictions were unsafe and were set aside because the principal evidence establishing management and the identity of the second woman was inadmissible hearsay (inspector's testimony mediated by an uncalled interpreter) and there was no reasonable explanation to admit fresh evidence on appeal under s83V; consequently the prosecution failed to prove the premises were a vice establishment and failed to prove the appellants' roles.
