    Citation
    HKSAR v. LEUNG KWOK WING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA495/2008

    The court granted leave to adduce the fresh medical and ancillary evidence because it was credible, highly relevant to the appellant's vision and capacity to avoid collision or form indecent intent, and could not have been produced at trial through reasonable diligence by defence counsel; because that evidence could have led the magistrate to a different verdict the conviction and sentence were quashed and no retrial was sought by the prosecution.
