The conviction was quashed because the trial judge's unfounded, speculative comments about the genuineness of a defence document and misleading references to the appellant's alleged handling of the drug packet were prejudicial and rendered the trial unfair; given the importance of the counterfoil to the defence and the high prospect of acquittal at retrial, the court refused to order a retrial.
