[2024] HKDC 1377
Court

District Court
Case number

HKSAR v. MA HO FAI

Citation

HKSAR v. MA HO FAI
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA30/2011

The court refused the certificate because the alleged legal question rested on a factual premise contrary to the judge's findings (that no formal identification parade was required on the facts), and therefore the question was not a point of law involved in the decision and not a point of law of great and general importance.
