Citation

R. v. HUNG CHIU-FAI
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC253/1995

The Court upheld the trial judge's adverse credibility findings and concluded that, on the evidence before the court, the jury of fact (trial judge) was entitled to find the applicant acted dishonestly with intent to permanently deprive, that the transactions were procured for the defendant's benefit, and that the absence of two witnesses did not render the trial unfair; therefore there was sufficient evidence to support the convictions and leave to appeal was refused.
