- CACC476/1996
The blank instruments did not meet the statutory definition of 'travel document' in the Immigration Ordinance, rendering the charge and resulting conviction a nullity; the Court of Appeal, exercising its inherent jurisdiction and granting leave to appeal out of time, quashed the conviction and ordered the applicant's discharge; substitution of conviction was inappropriate and must be left to the lower courts upon a fresh charge.
