香港特別行政區訴張麗霞

[2019] HKCA 536
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC369/2015

The trial judge's directions on the making, voluntariness and truth of the applicant's admissions were adequate under Pang Hiu San and R v Mushtag; the admissions were corroborated by unchallenged facts (possession of nearly 2kg of methamphetamine and hotel links) and the applicant's exculpatory account was not credible; the conviction on the first count was therefore safe and the leave application properly dismissed.

YAN KWOK KWONG v. R.

Citation

YAN KWOK KWONG v. R.
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC511/1993

Given the evidence that the applicant was in the premises for over an hour, the dangerous drugs were found packaged in numerous packets and the applicant's fingerprints and drug traces connected him to the packaging implements, the jury could properly infer possession with intent to traffic; any deficiency in the judge's general direction did not render the conviction unsafe, so the appeal is dismissed.
