    Citation
    THE QUEEN v. KEUNG SIN-CHI
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC965/1983

    Defence counsel was content for the voluntariness issue to be tried in the presence of the jury; marking the statements as exhibits amounted to a finding of admissibility in the context; the police evidence supported that the accused agreed to accompany officers and there was no basis to overturn voluntariness findings; a specific direction on lies is desirable but not required in every case; application for leave to appeal dismissed.
