    HUI KAM LOI v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC700/1972

    The conviction for corruptly soliciting a bribe is upheld because the magistrate rightly accepted the complainant's testimony as proving solicitation beyond reasonable doubt; the acquittal on the related charge of accepting a bribe was properly grounded in a distinct reasonable doubt about an equivocal unilateral act and does not render the conviction inconsistent; identified procedural irregularities did not render the trial unfair to the extent that the conviction must be quashed.
