    HCMA465/2017

    The trial judge's factual findings that the appellant knew company rules forbade others signing his time-card, that he intentionally caused false attendance records to be created to conceal absences and to secure year-end bonuses, and that this dishonesty induced the employer to pay sums were sustainable; those findings met the elements of fraud beyond reasonable doubt, therefore conviction and sentence are upheld.
