    Charge 4 convictions were quashed because the facts as alleged did not establish that the money constituted 'proceeds' under s25(1) OSCO; appellants are entitled to whole costs of the substantive final appeals (including written submissions on costs); costs of leave applications and earlier appeals were apportioned (50% for Appeal Committee leave applications; two‑thirds for Li and Cheng in the Court of Appeal; Tsang and Kwok bear their own costs of the Court of Appeal and trial); certificates for two counsel were granted but no certification for more than two counsel was given.
