HKSAR v. HUI FUNG YEE

Citation

HKSAR v. HUI FUNG YEE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA675/2009

The conviction was upheld because the appellant made clear admissions in cautioned interviews that she stole the small red checkered dress; those admissions, corroborated by recovery of the dress and the circumstances, provided overwhelming evidence of dishonesty and intention to permanently deprive, and the later exculpatory statements carried little or no weight.

HKSAR v. MAK CHI HUNG

Citation

HKSAR v. MAK CHI HUNG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA1139/2000

The appeal was dismissed because the magistrate reasonably found, on the appellant's own admissions corroborated by expert evidence, that the appellant had been promoted and regarded himself as an office-bearer (including assignment of a 3-digit number and recruitment activity) despite lack of formal ceremony, and the magistrate adequately considered the exculpatory material; no miscarriage of justice occurred.
