HKSAR v. LAI WAI CHUN

Citation

[2024] HKCA 1139
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC241/2023

Leave to appeal was refused because the Court concluded there were no arguable grounds: the evidence (immigration timing, PW1's observation and overheard words, telephone records linking the phones, physical items recovered and the getaway vehicle) provided cogent support for the jury's verdict and the sentencing judge properly applied sentencing principles and enhanced the starting point for clear aggravating factors.

Citation

HKSAR v. CHAN KWOK CHUEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC357/2015

The judge lawfully weighed the totality of evidence (CCTV, fingerprints, telephone records and the co-accused's testimony), reasonably resolved perceived discrepancies regarding T-shirt colour as matters of perception and weight, implicitly rejected the unsupported cautioned denial, and made no reviewable error; accordingly the application for leave to appeal against conviction was refused.

HKSAR v. KEUNG HANG YEE, HANNIE

Citation

HKSAR v. KEUNG HANG YEE, HANNIE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA42/2008

Given the unusual background between parties, lack of outgoing call records, the voicemail anomaly suggesting possible incoming attempts by the complainant, and absence of clear motive, the Court found reasonable doubt as to whether the calls were made for the purpose of annoyance and quashed the conviction as unsafe.

HKSAR v. CHENG SIK KWONG

Citation

HKSAR v. CHENG SIK KWONG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC64/2006

The appeal was dismissed because the Court found the trial judge’s rejection of the applicant’s account and acceptance of the prosecution case was supported by overwhelming objective evidence (telephone records showing coordination, surveillance observations, seized stolen property and admissions by co‑defendants); the judge’s credibility findings and inferences that the applicant participated in the burglary were reasonable and not vitiated by bias or trial irregularity.
