    HKSAR v. CHAN CHI CHUEN RAYMOND

    Citation
    [2021] HKCFI 2997
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCP473/2021

    The judge concluded the applicant crossed the NSL s42(2) first threshold because his legislative record, past cooperation with government, resignation from political posts and deactivation of social media, taken with stringent bail conditions, provided sufficient grounds to believe he would not continue to commit acts endangering national security; the risk of absconding was mitigated by his strong Hong Kong ties and the bail conditions, and therefore bail was granted.
