In the same passage she said that the determination is impracticable because she was about to leave Wellington for Dunedin to care for her daughter who is to have surgery.

   ...of fine or whether a fine was appropriate in all the circumstances. But that is not the basis on which we must approach this appeal.

   ...Mr Keswick‘s version of events. [34] I did not find either of the parties to be more convincing than the other. The corroborating evidence of the respective witnesses was of limited use.
