    LAM KWEI HOI ALIAS LAM SHUN v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC567/1969

    The sentence of 2.5 years was manifestly excessive for the offence of malicious damage in the circumstances; the sentencing judge had been influenced by injuries to police and the sentence should be varied to reflect that the malicious damage was an isolated incident and the appellant did not personally commit the damage.

    CHENG LOY AND OTHERS v. THE QUEEN

    Citation
    CHENG LOY AND OTHERS v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC448/1968

    The magistrate's orders were quashed because he failed to afford the appellants adequate notice and opportunity to show cause at the time the recognisances were proposed and because the formal order failed to recite facts on its face demonstrating a reasonable apprehension that the appellants would commit a future breach of the peace; therefore the orders could not stand and substitution by the appellate judge was refused on the facts.
