Cloete v S (HC-MD-CRI-APP-CAL 6 of 2022) [2022] NAHCMD 318 (27 June 2022)
The appellant's conviction was upheld because the search was lawful under section 22 of the Criminal Procedure Act due to owner consent and exigent circumstances, and the appellant's failure to cross-examine on material facts undermined his defence. The evidence established that the appellant obstructed the police in execution of their duties.
