1. As can be seen from s. 118(1)(b) of the Magistrates Ordinance, Cap. 227, the power to admit further evidence thereunder is exercisable if the judge considers such evidence to be “necessary”. Since the courts are here to administer justice, that means of course necessary in the interests of justice . The discretion is otherwise unfettered by any statutory conditions, but it is of course a judicial discretion to be exercised judicially.
