Prosecution failed to satisfy statutory preconditions of s31A DDA (arrest occurred only after screening) so the s37(k) presumption could not be relied upon; material inconsistencies and gaps in the chain of custody, discrepancies in seals, volume and witness testimony undermined the identity and reliability of the urine sample and the credibility of prosecution witnesses; on maximum evaluation no prima facie case was established, therefore the accused was acquitted and discharged.
