    Citation
    HKSAR v. CHAN YUEN SAU
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA1252/2005

    The magistrate's findings that there was no indecent assault or threat and that the kicking did not amount to lawful self-defence were reasonable on the evidence and not unsafe or unsatisfactory; therefore the conviction for common assault stands. The original bind-over sentence is substantively appropriate but the certificate is amended to specify precise conditions and prohibited conduct.

    • Common assault
    • Self-defence
    • Appeal from magistrates' court
    • Bind-over order
    • Credibility of witnesses
