Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP830/2021

The court found on the evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, that the respondent knowingly provided false documents and representations through his solicitors to procure lifting of a travel restriction, undertook a premeditated departure from Hong Kong to evade court proceedings and deliberately failed to surrender as required; those deliberate deceptive acts were calculated to interfere with the due administration of justice and posed a real risk of undermining public confidence, and therefore amounted to criminal contempt.

香港特別行政區訴梁鵬

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 398
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA432/2021

Notice of the appeal was properly served and the appellant failed to take reasonable steps to prosecute the appeal; the trial magistrate's convictions were supported by sufficient factual basis and free from error and the sentences were not plainly wrong or excessive; therefore the appeal against conviction and sentence is dismissed; bail is forfeited and an arrest warrant is issued; the Department of Justice is ordered to investigate the delay in notifying the court of the appellant's breach of bail conditions and report results to the court and the Commissioner of Police.
