The appellant challenged convictions arising from a package containing narcotics delivered to her address.
The Court of Appeal held the suspicious circumstances relied on by the Crown were insufficient to support the inference, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the appellant knew of the narcotics or was wilfully blind to their presence.
The evidentiary foundation for the trial judge's inferences was inadequate.
The appeal was allowed, the convictions were quashed, and verdicts of acquittal were entered.
