    [2019] HKCFI 2823
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA79/2019

    The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that it did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained the driver's identity under s63(5) RTO; the enquiries made were minimal and insufficient, company lax record-keeping cannot found the statutory defence, therefore the conviction and fine were upheld and the appeal dismissed.
