The court found the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case: the key witness (SP21) was materially inconsistent and lacked corroboration, crucial material witnesses were not called (permitting adverse inference under s114(g) Evidence Act), and there was insufficient evidence to infer the accused's involvement in a conspiracy or cognitive knowledge that documents were forged; because the predicate offences were not proven the AMLA counts likewise failed. Accordingly the accused was discharged and acquitted without being called to enter defence.
