By a majority the Court of Appeal held that on these facts — public place, the applicant discarding ten separately wrapped packets, and the total quantity equivalent to many days' supply — a jury/tribunal properly could infer trafficking; absence of evidence of addiction did not preclude that inference and the applicant's silence was a relevant circumstance in evaluating the prosecution case. Accordingly the application for leave was dismissed and the conviction for trafficking upheld.
