Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Application for Bail Pending Appeal

  1. 1 Whether the applicants' conduct satisfied the legal test for dishonesty under applicable authorities
  2. 2 Whether the facts align with precedents relied on by the defence (eg.陳樹雄案, Li Pui Wan)
  3. 3 Whether misleading the Lands Department amounted to conspiracy to defraud a public body and offended public interest

Ratio Decidendi

Bail was refused because the judge's factual and legal findings that the applicant acted dishonestly to procure building permissions were reasonable and the preliminary assessment showed the appeal lacked sufficient merit; the sentence of three years was not manifestly excessive, so bail pending appeal was not justified.

Court Disposition

Bail application refused

Orders

  • Applicant's application for bail pending appeal is dismissed
