Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA151/2019

The magistrate's credibility findings were not plainly wrong and, on the proven facts of the appellant unloading goods in an industrial carpark with the driver present and no innocent explanation, the only reasonable and irresistible inference was that he was undertaking employment contrary to s38AA, proved beyond reasonable doubt.

HKSAR v. BADAMKHAND BATCHULUUN

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 1506
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA75/2019
