Proof of custody and control of luggage containing concealed methamphetamine invoked the legal presumption under s37(d) DDA; appellant failed to rebut that presumption on the balance of probabilities and also failed to cast reasonable doubt that the large quantities were intended for trafficking; trial judge correctly applied the law and procedure and any omission to state explicitly which presumption applied or to refer to self‑serving out‑of‑court statements/DW2 did not prejudice appellant or vitiate the verdict; appeal therefore dismissed and conviction and sentence affirmed.
