Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA52/2020

The appeal was dismissed because the trial Magistrate's credibility findings were reasonable and supported by abundant evidence that the appellant was washing dishes in the restaurant while aware a removal order was in force, and those facts established employment within the meaning of ss 38AA(1)(b) and 38AA(2) of the Immigration Ordinance beyond reasonable doubt.

Citation

HKSAR v. HASAN RASHEED
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA647/2012

The magistrate's credibility findings were open on the evidence, the prosecution witness was found honest and reliable, and that evidence established beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant had taken up employment; there was no proper basis for the appellate court to overturn those findings, therefore the conviction stands.
