    Citation
    [2021] HKCFI 2562
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCP348/2021

    The judge accepted the statutory and caselaw threshold under NSL s42(2), judged that having considered all relevant materials and proposed conditions the applicant had discharged the first threshold (sufficient grounds to believe she will not continue to commit acts endangering national security), found the usual bail considerations (surrender, flight risk, re-offending) met under the set conditions, and therefore granted bail.

    HKSAR v. CHUNG KAM LUN

    Citation
    [2021] HKCFI 1473
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCP137/2021

    Applying NSL 42(2) and HKSAR v Lai Chee Ying, the judge conducted a predictive and evaluative assessment of all material and concluded there were insufficient grounds to believe the applicant would not continue to commit acts endangering national security given his pivotal organisational role, public fundraising and publicity linking to bank accounts, use of council office as a polling station and public statements; accordingly the bail threshold was not met and bail was refused.
