    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCC488/2014

    Court granted bail to the defendants subject to specified conditions because the prosecution did not object and the court was satisfied on the available material that the defendants were not flight risks and there were plausible explanations and issues (including need for disclosure and medical matters) that warranted release on conditions; the prosecution is ordered to take all reasonable steps to identify and obtain disclosure from foreign agencies and a further mention was fixed to monitor compliance.

    Citation
    [2018] HKCFI 763
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCC259/2015

    The court held that, given the prosecution's obligations of disclosure and the absence of evidence that the defendants are flight risks or a danger to the public, bail should be granted subject to strict conditions while the prosecution takes all reasonable steps to identify and obtain potentially relevant material from international law enforcement partners; specific mention hearings and trial vacatur were ordered where disclosure or medical issues required it.
