    CACC21/1991

    Section 43 requires more than the evidence of a single witness to establish falsity, but that "more" can be documentary or combined oral evidence; the Court held the combined evidence of the receipt book and expert opinion together with Swire employees and Housing Department inspection reports satisfied s.43 and supported findings that the receipt was false and was tendered knowing it to be false; accordingly convictions and concurrent 9‑month sentences were upheld.
