Leave to appeal was granted only on a single, reasonably arguable mixed question of law and fact — D1's Ground 5 challenging the "shut eye"/turning a blind eye directions on knowledge — because whether that direction was appropriate depended on the facts. Leave was refused on all other grounds of conviction and on all grounds of sentence; some grounds were pure questions of law and thus did not require leave. The sentences were held to be within judicial discretion and not reasonably arguable as unlawful.
