Leave to appeal was refused because the proposed grounds did not show a reasonable prospect of success: the trial judge had properly weighed contemporaneous documentary evidence (invoice over a 4‑year‑old email), had taken into account failure to call witnesses, rightly placed the evidential burden on the defendant who pleaded possession and identification, did not improperly draw adverse inferences without basis, and made credibility findings and factual assessments that are not plainly wrong and thus not arguable on appeal.
