The court held that s19 presumptions applied, appellants bore only an evidential burden which they failed to discharge because the overall evidence (CCTV, interview admissions, duration and chips observed) did not raise a reasonable doubt that the premises were a gambling establishment or that gambling there was not commercial; s3(2) defence was not established on the evidence; accordingly prosecution proved the offence beyond reasonable doubt and the convictions were upheld.
