The High Court dismissed the habeas corpus applications and upheld the magistrate's committals: the evidence taken as a whole was such that a properly directed jury could infer Lam's knowledge and participation in the conspiracy and trafficking; the Governor's Order to Proceed was sufficiently particularised for the magistrate's function and did not need to mirror the foreign indictment; undertakings and the speciality rule protect against trial on non-extraditable Thailand-only acts.
