Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA671/2000

The conviction was upheld because the appellant entered a clear guilty plea and made a spontaneous admission that he drove the vehicle while uninsured, which constituted sufficient evidence; accordingly the appeal against conviction is barred by Section 113(1) of the Magistrates Ordinance and is dismissed.

LAU YIU SUM v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC565/1972

Police identification that the appellant was driving 'a private car AJ 7121' together with the unchallenged description constituted sufficient prima facie proof that the appellant was the driver and that the vehicle was a private car; lack of a register extract did not vitiate the conviction.
