Question juridique clé
Whether signing contracts with the dancers' names with their consent still constitutes forgery
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the foreign police required the dancers' own handwritten signatures, the appellant was the real author of the documents she signed in their names, so the contracts were false.
Motifs extraits
For documents expected to be personally signed, the real issuer is the person who actually signs. Consent by the name-holder does not prevent falsity.
