The court found that destruction of the bank security videotape did not deprive the applicant of a fair trial because no one could say what the tape showed and no fault lay with the prosecution; the trial judge's acceptance of bank witnesses that the applicant signed and affixed the chop to a transfer/withdrawal form was rational and determinative; from those facts an intent to gain could properly be inferred and the elements of s.18D(1) were established; accordingly leave to appeal was refused and the application dismissed.
