The Court held that 'corrupt practices' in s.12 of the ICAC Ordinance is not confined to the offences listed in s.10; the Commissioner has authority and, in the circumstances, a duty to disclose evidence of corrupt practices to bodies able to take appropriate action (such as the Jockey Club); such disclosure can constitute 'lawful authority' for purposes of s.30 Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, and the injunctions and declarations below restraining disclosure were set aside.
