File auto and cancellation of verified marking
The situation
A trial for an alleged minor offence of usurpation had been reported.
What the decision records
After reviewing the proceedings, the court found insufficient grounds for the alleged offence. It provisionally dismissed the case and cancelled the scheduled trial.
What this helps explain
A trial statement does not amount to a conviction. The defence may raise the lack of requirements in criminal proceedings, without automatically resolving any civil disputes.
