The failure by the trial judge to give a clear direction that evidence and prosecutorial suggestions that the applicant's prior deliveries (uncharged acts) constituted previous drug trafficking could not be used to establish the elements of the charged offences was a material non‑direction that rendered the convictions unsafe; consequently leave to appeal was granted, the appeal allowed and a retrial ordered.
