    HKSAR v. TSANG YAM KUEN, DONALD

    Citation
    [2018] HKCA 564
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC55/2017

    The court refused certification because the questions raised were fact specific and did not present new points of law of great and general importance; there was no omission in the judge's directions (wilful equated to deliberate was sufficient in context), the summing up fairly presented issues including duty to disclose and seriousness, and the alleged failure by defence counsel was immaterial because no corrective direction was required in the circumstances.
