No order for further disclosure was made because the material before the court (police document) carried a real risk of implicitly revealing the informant's identity and the defence failed to show a factual basis that disclosure was necessary to establish innocence rather than speculative; informer privilege therefore prevailed subject to the continuing duty to disclose if circumstances change.
