1. The appellant sought leave to appeal his conviction on 20 June 2008 in the District Court by Deputy Judge Douglas Yau of a single count of fraud, contrary to section 16A(1) of the Theft Ordinance, Cap. 210. At the hearing of the application we granted leave, treated the hearing as the hearing of the appeal and dismissed the appeal. We said that we would give our reasons for so doing in due course. This we do now.
