The court held the trial judge erred in admitting the GIL/Pasto documents because the statutory preconditions of sections 22/22A of the Evidence Ordinance were not satisfied and section 22B(2) precludes drawing inferences from documents to establish admissibility; reliance on R v Foxley was misplaced under Hong Kong law, therefore the conviction was quashed and no retrial ordered.
