The Court held that the judge's reasons for disbelieving the applicant (financial capacity and variation in packet weight/purity) were unsound or neutral and that the applicant's account was not inherently improbable; therefore the verdicts of possession for the purpose of trafficking were unsafe and were set aside and substituted with guilty verdicts for simple possession, with consequential alteration of sentences.
