The Court held that, on the whole of the admissible evidence (documents, communications, witness testimony and conduct), the trial judge legitimately found that D3 and D4 knowingly dealt with cargo with intent to assist export without a manifest; the judge validly treated deliberate, material lies as reinforcing other evidence; a District Judge is not required to state all jury-style directions in reasons for verdict; identification of the assisted party is unnecessary under s.18A; accordingly convictions of D3 and D4 are safe and D1's sentence is not manifestly excessive.
