HKSAR v. VAITHILINGAM SIVARAJ
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC290/2009

The renewed application for leave to appeal out of time is dismissed because the applicant failed to provide sufficient reasons to justify the extension of time and, in any event, the sentence (40 months for wounding, 1 day concurrent for assault) was neither wrong in principle nor manifestly excessive; the Vice‑President's reasons were sufficient and supported.

Citation

R. v. YAU CHING LING
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC483/1996

The convictions were upheld because a properly directed jury could reasonably infer trafficking from the quantity and condition of the drugs; the 10-year sentence was affirmed as it fell within the applicable guideline range for the total heroin quantity (117.06 g), and an extension of time to appeal the sentence was refused as there was no basis to disturb it.
