    THE QUEEN v. TSE YU
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC111/1994

    The court held the amendment, though made without formal order or service, did not render the trial a nullity because the accused was put to the amended charge and the conduct of the court effectively validated the amendment; the applicant failed to demonstrate that non-service of the amendment caused prejudice or that refusal to recall witnesses was an improper exercise of discretion; therefore the conviction was upheld and the application refused.
