Because the presumptions in s46(d)(v) and s47(3) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance were repealed by s3(2) of the Bill of Rights Ordinance as from 8 June 1991, reliance on those presumptions at trial rendered the convictions unsafe where it could not be shown the verdicts would inevitably have been the same; accordingly the appeals are allowed, convictions quashed and sentences set aside.
