SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE v. CHAN CHI WAN STEPHEN AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC103/2012

The Court dismissed the s32(2) certification applications because the applicants did not explain the delay, the legal principles relied on are already well established, Questions 1 and 2 are fact‑sensitive and unsuitable for certification, and Question 3 is not reasonably arguable; accordingly no point of law of great and general importance was certified.

HKSAR v. LIONEL JOHN KRIEGER AND ANOTHER

Citation

HKSAR v. LIONEL JOHN KRIEGER AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMC1/2014

Leave to appeal was refused because the alleged conspiracy, even if carried out, would involve the commission of the s9(2) offence in Macau where the offer would be made to the agent and s9(2) lacks extraterritorial effect; PBO s2(2) does not remove the requirement that the offer be made to the agent or extend the offence to conduct constituting only an agreement in Hong Kong to make an offer abroad, so the conspiracy was not indictable in Hong Kong.
