Leave to appeal was granted because the proper construction of the mental element of s37(a) in the context of the rule that ignorance of the law is generally no defence constitutes a question of law of great and general importance, and because it is reasonably arguable that the courts below materially misapprehended the evidence causing substantial and grave injustice; other grounds were refused as not reasonably arguable or lacking merit.
