THE QUEEN v. CHEUNG KAM MING
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC29/1989

The Court refused leave to appeal: the trial judge's findings that the Applicant possessed and controlled the drugs were supported by evidence (tenant status, keys, fingerprint and second defendant's testimony) and the sentence, though high, was within the judge's discretion because tariffs are guidelines and aggravating features justified the sentence.
