    HCMA461/2011

    Appeal allowed because the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the polluting discharge into the water control zone was not made by way of a communal drain; evidence showed a plausible communal drainage path outside Chun Wo Site and ambiguity in witness evidence prevented a conclusive finding that the drain was used exclusively by Chun Wo.
