The Court held the trial judge correctly applied the two-part test (objective grounds a reasonable person would have and proof the defendant knew those grounds); the factual matrix (custody of chequebook/chop/statements, signing blank cheques, mortgaging properties, salary) provided sufficient primary evidence to permit the inference that the applicants knew grounds for belief the monies were proceeds of indictable offences; therefore convictions and 12-month custodial sentences were upheld as not manifestly excessive.
