Hong Kong Case Law

Curfew as bail condition
  • 2 Mar 2020

    HKSAR v. KWAN KA YIU

    Citation
    [2020] HKCFI 378
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCP105/2020

    The court will not impose live CCTV monitoring as a bail condition because it is inappropriate and undesirable: it raises significant privacy concerns, it is impracticable to require or expect police to monitor continuous CCTV footage, and it does not materially assist in preventing absconding beyond established measures such as curfew; accordingly the CCTV condition is rejected and the bail application remains refused.
