J U D G M E N T

_______________

1.The Appellant has been convicted after trial in the Magistrates’ Court on a charge of failing to give information on demand, contrary to section 63(1)(a) and (6)(a) of the Road Traffic Ordinance, Cap. 374.

2.In his application for a review of the Magistrate’s decision, the Appellant advanced a number of points in support of his review application.  The Magistrate, having considered all the points advanced by the Appellant and reviewing all the evidence, confirmed the conviction, giving detailed reasons why he did so.

3.The Appellant now appeals against that conviction before me. He has repeated most of the points which he had advanced to the Magistrate on review in support of his appeal.

4.Having considered all of them and all the submission made, I see no basis on which to interfere with this conviction. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
