    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC866/1973

    The magistrate's acceptance of the police officer's evidence, supported by the production of a marked note and the appellant's failure to credibly rebut or to show insurance coverage, was not vitiated by absence of the coins; appellate court will not overturn such factual findings and the fines and mandatory 12‑month disqualification were properly imposed, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
