The Bylaw was validly made and produced in evidence; the statutory evidential presumption under the Bylaws Act applied and Parlane failed to rebut it by proving the reference to NZS 5202 invalidated the Bylaw; a local authority may rely on or adopt a standard (or part of it) and the fact Standards New Zealand had 'withdrawn' the standard did not, on the evidence, destroy the Bylaw's validity, so the convictions were properly upheld.
