For the 1st applicant leave to appeal was refused: his conviction and sentence were upheld. For the 2nd applicant the majority held the prosecution had not established the necessary foundation to trigger the statutory presumption of possession under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance at the close of the prosecution case: the insurance policy's signature and attribution to her were not sufficiently proved and mere presence/asleep on the bed did not establish possession, custody or control; accordingly her conviction was quashed and sentence set aside.
