On the totality of evidence the High Court found the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent had knowledge of or possession of the prohibited goods; the respondent rebutted the presumption in s.135(2) on the balance of probabilities by credible evidence that the goods were not in the vehicle while he was driving and that he left the vehicle unlocked on his employer's instructions; therefore the magistrate's acquittal was correct and should be upheld.
