- HCMA1138/2005
The appellant failed to prove the statutory defence under s118(3) because his enquiries were objectively insufficient in the circumstances (asking an unknown third party was inadequate and his account of inspecting the goods was inconsistent), s118(6)'s requirements were not satisfied, and the magistrate was entitled to reject his evidence; therefore the conviction was properly upheld.
