    THE QUEEN v. LEUNG KAM HO

    Citation
    THE QUEEN v. LEUNG KAM HO
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC286/1993

    The Court, on a preliminary view for the purpose of a bail application, found there was no prima facie case that the appeal on counts 1 and 5 would succeed: the distinction between voting as elector and acting as a public servant was not arguably tenable, s22 precluded treating Mr Fung as an accomplice, the challenged conversation evidence was admitted without defence objection and did not show prejudice, and the judge's directions on immunity and corroboration were arguably adequate; accordingly bail pending appeal was refused.

    LI TIT-CHUEN v. THE QUEEN

    Citation
    LI TIT-CHUEN v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC1280/1976

    The complainant was not an accomplice within the meaning of participis criminis and s.22 of the Bribery and Corruption Ordinance; there was sufficient corroboration (notably the telephone conversation) to support the magistrate's finding, so the conviction for soliciting a pecuniary advantage was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
