Applicant

Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal — Application for Permission to Appeal Against Conviction (out of Time) / Leave Application (out of Time) Before Court of First Instance (appellate Jurisdiction)

  1. 1 Whether out‑of‑time permission to appeal should be granted
  2. 2 Whether trial judge properly assessed complainant credibility and excluded P7/P8 evidence
  3. 3 Whether alleged incompetence of defence counsel amounted to 'serious incompetence' rendering trial unfair

Ratio Decidendi

The application for out‑of‑time leave and for leave to appeal were refused because the proposed grounds were undeveloped, lacked affidavit evidence or particulars (notably the counsel‑incompetence allegation was abandoned and unsupported), the trial judge's evidential rulings were lawful and justified (including exclusion/non‑reliance on P7/P8 and acceptance of complainant), and there was no realistic prospect of success under the Chong Ching Yuen benchmark for serious incompetence or unfair trial.

Court Disposition

Application for out‑of‑time permission to appeal refused; application for permission to appeal refused.

Orders

  • Application for leave to appeal out of time refused
  • Application for leave to appeal refused
