Citation

HKSAR v. ZHENG YUHUA
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA984/2008

The magistrate was entitled to infer from the facts and the appellant's evidence that the forged Hong Kong identity card was obtained for fraudulent benefits and posed a latent risk of being used to extend stay or obtain employment; the appellant failed to rebut that ordinary inference and the 12‑month sentence was not excessive, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
