[2026] HKCFI 2472
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA254/2025

The conviction was affirmed because the rehearing found sufficient evidence that CCHK had a proprietary and commercial interest in the Project so the appellant's solicitation was related to his principal's affairs; the recording and the appellant's VRI admissions established the requisite nexus and culpable state of mind; DW1 did not give permission and no reasonable excuse existed; the magistrate's factual findings and credibility assessments were reasonable and supported by evidence, warranting dismissal of the appeal.

HKSAR v. CHING KAI CHIU, JOHNY

Citation

HKSAR v. CHING KAI CHIU, JOHNY
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA648/2001

The Deputy High Court Judge found the Magistrate erred by failing to address a material discrepancy and possible malice in the key witness's out-of-court statements and by improperly discounting a prosecution statement under s65(b)/s65B for lack of cross-examination; those errors produced a lurking doubt as to the safety of the conviction, warranting quashing of the conviction and setting aside the sentence.
