香港特別行政區訴李健聰

Citation

[2020] HKCA 282
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC212/2018

The trial judge did not err: he legitimately exercised fact‑finding discretion, observed the complainant and found her overall demeanour and evidence credible, medical findings were consistent with the complainant's account, the defence account was implausible and the applicant's police admissions undermined his case; therefore there was no arguable ground for a conviction appeal and leave is refused.
