The Court held that (a) admissions recorded in the circumstances were properly found by the trial judge to be voluntary and rightly admitted; technical breaches of the Judge's Rules did not require exclusion absent oppression or prejudice; and (b) for very large quantities of dangerous drugs those involved as major participants may properly receive sentences in the order of 20 years, so the sentence imposed on Lau was appropriate. Accordingly leave to appeal was dismissed for both applicants.
