The appellant appealed a conviction entered under default proceedings for improperly using a blue flashing light contrary to section 62(32) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The certificate of offence listed an incorrect set fine of $85.00 when the correct fine for a commercial motor vehicle should have been $200.00.
The court found that the certificate was not complete and regular on its face and therefore could not support a conviction under the default proceedings.
The appeal was allowed and the conviction was quashed.
