    香港特別行政區 訴 黃偉英

    Citation
    [2024] HKCFI 2961
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA315/2023

    The High Court accepted the trial judge's credibility findings and concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant unlawfully used offensive language and engaged in disorderly conduct at the rehabilitation centre; convictions were therefore upheld, but the sentence was reduced because the original fines (HKD2,000 per summons) were disproportionate to the circumstances and were reduced to HKD1,000 per summons.
