    香港特別行政區 訴 蘇子健

    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA14/2022

    The trial judge's acceptance of the complainant's photographic and medical evidence and rejection of the appellant's implausible account was properly grounded in the evidence; the injuries (tenderness, bruise and abrasion) constituted actual bodily harm; the appellant committed the offence while on recognizance indicating a real risk of reoffending and lack of remorse; therefore the conviction was safe and a six‑week custodial sentence was an appropriate, non‑manifestly excessive punishment.
