The application for leave to appeal was refused because the alleged inaccuracies were either factually correct or immaterial to the entitlement to charging orders, the allegations of judicial impropriety were without substance, the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospect of success, and the court would prevent reconsideration under RHC Order 59 rule 2A(8).

HKSAR v. CHEUNG WAI KONG

Citation

HKSAR v. CHEUNG WAI KONG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC142/2001

The four year sentence was not manifestly excessive given the serious, organised nature of the blackmail and large sums involved; although the judge's adjournment to allow restitution risked creating an improper impression it did not render the sentence unjust; the appeal is dismissed.
