Because the 1st appellant had once been permitted to drive in Hong Kong on his UK licence under Regulation 37 and had never been disqualified, the past-tense proviso in the policy ('has held and is not disqualified from holding or obtaining such a licence') encompassed him; the Magistrate erred in requiring the licence to be one issued by the Hong Kong authority, and therefore the convictions for using a vehicle without third party insurance (and permitting its use) were quashed.
