The Court held that section 32 permitted amendment because the transcripts of covert recordings provided prima facie evidence supporting the broader particulars; the defence had not been misled by the prosecution and suffered no substantial injustice that could not be cured by recall or further cross-examination; fresh consent of the Secretary for Justice was not required in the circumstances; conviction was therefore safe and the sentence of 2 years 3 months was not excessive.
