    Court of Appeal

    CACC139/2014

    The Court held there was ample, coherent and uncontested evidence to infer beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant knowingly possessed multiple false bank documents and intended they be used (or by others) to induce belief they were genuine for commercial/financing purposes (the required double intent under Cap.200 s75(1)); expert evidence was unnecessary for the disputed factual issue of whether documents were "samples"; chain of custody and provenance of the USB/files were adequately established; accordingly the leave to appeal against conviction was refused and convictions upheld.
