COMPANY’S APPEAL DISMISSED
No Weighing Machine In Sight (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, December 11. Mr Justice Hardie Boys, in a reserved judgment, today dismissed the appeal by Wynn Abel, Ltd., Whangarei, against its conviction for exposng goods for sale in a self-service gorcery store without having a weighing machine in a convenient place capable of being seen by the purchaser.
Mr j. R. Herd, S. M., had fined the company £l, stating that the prosecution was a test case. The judgment does not accept submissions by Mr D. B. Spring that the conviction was wrong in fact and in tow.
“So far as the facts are concerned, I have no doubt that the weighing machine was not, in terms of Section 20 of the Weights and Measures Act, in a convenient place capable of being easily seen by the purchaser of goods in the main part of the shop,” said the judgment.
