- Supreme Court
By a majority the Court held that s256(1) must be read as it is written: 'use' includes making and selling a false document to obtain property or valuable consideration and does not require the purchaser to be deceived; therefore forging for sale to purchasers who know the falsity can constitute the s256(1) offence and the appellant's convictions under s256(1) were correctly upheld.
