Co-principal liability

    HKSAR v. LEUNG KWOK HUNG

    Citation
    HKSAR v. LEUNG KWOK HUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA234/2012

    The appellant's conviction was upheld because he was a co-principal whose own acts were sufficient to ground conviction; the absence of evidence supporting a common design as to other accused does not negate liability where the accused's own conduct establishes the offence; therefore no different basis of conviction arose and the application for certification is misconceived.
