Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal Against Conviction

  1. 1 Whether the evidence supports an inference of trafficking rather than personal use
  2. 2 Whether the trial judge improperly rejected the applicant's account and made impermissible assumptions
  3. 3 Whether the quantity and packaging of drugs alone justify a finding of trafficking

Ratio Decidendi

The trial judge's factual findings and inferences — based on admission of purchase, the timing and location, the quantity and retail packaging of the drugs, their accessibility in the vehicle and the applicant's conduct — were reasonable and sufficiently support the sole inference of possession for trafficking; there was no error warranting appellate intervention, therefore leave to appeal against conviction is refused.
