- CACC453/1998
The Court held ss.118(3) and (5) require defendants manufacturing in Hong Kong to make reasonable inquiries under Hong Kong law to avail themselves of the statutory defences; inquiries confined to Taiwan law were inadequate; applicants made minimal or no effective Hong Kong inquiries and therefore failed to discharge the statutory burden; convictions were safe and must be upheld.
