R. v. FONG KWOK YUNG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC30/1997

The Court held that the trial judge properly addressed the dangers of identification evidence, was entitled to accept the victim's identification given the immediate parade, possession of the stolen watch by a co-accused and surrounding circumstances; convictions were safe and the individual sentences and overall totality were not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive, so leave to appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed.
