Leave to appeal was refused because the Court was satisfied that although the trial judge erred in suggesting a reverse burden, that error was not applied in his factual analysis and did not affect the verdict; the Court of Appeal permissibly applied the s83(1) proviso; admission of the Part VIIIA depositions did not render the trial unfair given cross-examination, disclosed discrepant statements and overwhelming circumstantial and documentary evidence linking applicants to the conspiracy; and no substantial and grave injustice was demonstrated.
