    The appellate court, on re‑hearing, found the trial judge permissibly accepted the prosecution witness as credible despite peripheral inconsistencies; those inconsistencies did not undermine the core account that the appellant, as an agent/employee, received HKD43,925 in kickbacks without authority and made an improper threatening demand to withhold work if not paid. The evidence proved both offences beyond reasonable doubt and the convictions and concurrent six‑month sentences were upheld.
