Practice Areas (from case appearances)
The presumption under section 50(1) of the MACC Act 2009, upon establishing the receipt of the money, it is presumed that the money was received corruptly on account of the matters set out in the charge. Once the presumption triggers, the burden is shifted to the respondent to rebut, on the balance of probabilities, that the money was not received corruptly as a reward. 1 The credibility of a witness is best determined by the trial judge, who has the advantage of audio-visual evidence and can assess the witness's demeanour. Unless the assessment is plainly wrong and made against the weight of the evidence presented, the finding on credibility should not be disturbed by the appellate court. 1
