Prosecution must prove entry into Hong Kong beyond reasonable doubt and, on the evidence and permissible judicial notice of published historical sources regarding boundaries combined with other factual inferences, the court was satisfied the ship had entered Hong Kong; records of interview (Exhibits P3-P7) were voluntary and admissible; s.37K(1) presumption applies to the time of the offence and places on defendants the burden on the balance of probabilities to prove the s.37C(2)(b) exemption, which they failed to do, therefore defendants D2–D6 convicted.
