GOLIK CONCRETE LTD v. TOWA CONCRETE LTD

Citation

GOLIK CONCRETE LTD v. TOWA CONCRETE LTD
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ7267/2003

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success: the defendant's new assertions contradicted the trial record and an admission under cross-examination (as evidenced by the schedule) established full payment by MCWJV; additionally, the judge would have reached the same conclusion on quality for other reasons in the judgment.

HKSAR v. TIN FEI LUNG

Citation

HKSAR v. TIN FEI LUNG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC337/2003

Convictions were safe because recent possession of multiple and heterogeneous stolen items together with stolen receipts, very recent timing of the burglaries, the applicant's conduct at arrest, and rejection of the applicant's explanation justified the only reasonable inference of guilt; the overall sentence of five years was not contrary to principle or manifestly excessive given the applicant's prior convictions and circumstances.
