The appellant appealed his convictions for fraud and breach of trust by a public officer.
He argued the trial judge erred in assessing evidence, finding a key witness credible, and applying the elements of fraud.
The appellant had submitted false travel expense claims to the government, claiming $217 per trip while only paying $50 and pocketing the difference.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's assessment of the evidence or credibility.
The court also held that the element of deprivation for fraud was met, as the government would not have paid the claims had it known the truth.
The appeal was dismissed.
