    Citation
    ZOU YISHANG v. SECURITIES AND FUTURES COMMISSION
    Court
    Court of Final Appeal
    Case number
    FAMC21/2007

    The Court held there was no reasonable ground for appeal because the applicant's complaint that the virtual certainty test from Nedrick/Woollin was misapplied by the lower courts was not reasonably arguable; citing authorities from murder cases to explain intention in other offences is permissible and did not justify granting leave, therefore leave to appeal was refused.
