HKSAR v. CHAN KOON WAH
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA164/2001

The appeal was dismissed because the Court of First Instance gave deference to the magistrate's acceptance of the prosecution witnesses as honest and having had an unobstructed view; discrepancies in timing, location and minor amendments to the charge did not undermine the conviction and did not amount to reversible error.

HKSAR v. TSE CHEUK CHIN

Citation

HKSAR v. TSE CHEUK CHIN
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMC21/2000

The committee dismissed the applications because there was no evidence that CCTV existed or would have assisted the defence, the magistrate's acceptance of independent eyewitness and medical evidence was open on the record, and no point of law of great and general importance nor grave and substantial injustice under s.32 was shown; accordingly certification and leave to appeal were refused.
