    DCCJ1310/2021

    On the balance of probabilities the court accepted the plaintiff's account and contemporaneous handwritten documents (the third IOU and the 31 October 2015 loan confirmation) as authentic and corroborative, and therefore held the first defendant liable as a borrower for RMB100,000 with agreed interest; the first defendant's forgery and witness-only defenses were rejected due to inconsistency and lack of supporting evidence.
