The High Court considered the issue of whether Sweet Whey powder can be cleared duty-free as a "Leavening Agent" under a duty-free import authorization license. The court noted that an expert opined Sweet Whey powder cannot be used as a leavening agent. The court found this to be a question of fact, not law. The expert also expressed uncertainty about Sweet Whey powder's effectiveness compared to whey protein concentrates. The court held that no substantial legal questions were raised, and thus dismissed the appeal challenging the duty-free clearance of Sweet Whey powder.
