The High Court found the Magistrate plainly wrong for failing to properly assess a material inconsistency in the prosecution's evidence regarding the date and identity of the urine specimen; that inconsistency critically undermined the chain of custody and the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case, therefore the conviction and sentence were set aside and the appellant was acquitted and discharged.
