Convictions were unsafe: the section 420 charges were defective because the prosecution evidence showed monies were deposited to Ganang Resources (a third party) and not exclusively to the appellant, causing a failure of justice under CPC ss.156 and 422; further, maximum evaluation of the documentary and bank evidence permitted a reasonable inference that the transactions were friendly loans with substantial repayments recorded, creating reasonable doubt as to dishonest inducement; appeals allowed and convictions and sentences set aside.
