CACC254/2017

Because the offence was extremely serious, the prosecution evidence was strong, and despite the applicant's prolonged detention and prejudice, the interests of justice required remittal for retrial under s.83E(1) CPO; the applicant should remain remanded pending retrial; fairness required the respondent to pay half the applicant's appeal costs with counsel fees limited to one counsel.

HCB612/1999

The statutory demand does not, in the absence of express provision, entitle the creditor to interest accruing after issuance of the demand, but the defendant is entitled to interest as of right under the judgment for costs under s.49(1) High Court Ordinance; interest on the taxed costs runs from 29 April 1997 to the date of payment into court (12 August 1999) and no further interest is payable after payment into court; Mr Finley remains personally liable for the costs and interest to the extent of his original liability under the judgment.
