The High Court held the prosecution had established a prima facie case of trafficking for the purpose of exploitation/forced labour under Section 12 ATIPSOM based on cumulative evidence (withheld wages recharacterised as loans, passport retention, excessive hours, denial of leave, restricted communication and physical abuse); the trial judge properly assessed the defence and there was no legal or factual error warranting disturbance of the convictions or sentences, so convictions and sentences were affirmed.
