The defendant appealed from his conviction for using a false identity card. Though he had such a card, he said that it had not been shown that he had intended to use it as required ‘for establishing registrable facts about himself’ The driving licence had his correct name but the wrong data for his birth was shown.
Held: His plea of guilty had been an admission of his intent, and the appeal failed.
