    KWAN WING KEI v. HKSAR
    Court
    Court of Final Appeal
    Case number
    FAMC91/2005

    A s.67C judge must not act as if performing the Long-term Prison Sentences Review Board's function; no point of law of great and general importance was established to warrant certification; Pang J did not err by failing to give insufficient weight to favourable material and there was no substantial and grave injustice shown—leave to appeal is therefore refused.
