- Court of Final Appeal
- Case number
- FAMC62/2006
Although the statement of offence formally cited s.13(1) and the Chinese text was garbled, it was plain to all parties and the court that the accused was being prosecuted as the licensee under s.13(2); defence counsel did not object, conducted a full defence and the magistrate expressly found the s.13(2) statutory defence was not established; applying Ching Kwok Yin, the drafting errors caused no such injustice as to justify granting leave to appeal, so the application is dismissed.
