    Citation
    HKSAR v. CHAN CHI KEUNG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC457/2010

    The Court held that the prosecution adducing PW1s account of the assault and PW2/PW3s continuous observation of the runner, together with items in the recovered handbag, sufficed to prove theft and to identify the applicant as the runner; discrepancies between witnesses were reasonably explicable and there was no credible evidence of mistake or collusion, therefore conviction was safe and leave to appeal dismissed.
