The application for leave to appeal out of time was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the 26 month delay and, in any event, the six year sentence was appropriate under the heroin sentencing guidelines; the forfeiture of US$4,000 was lawful because the judge found a probative connection between the money and the trafficking offence and had power to order forfeiture under s56 of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance or s102 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance.
