    HKSAR v. LI KAM SHING

    Citation
    HKSAR v. LI KAM SHING
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC153/2004

    The trial judge's directions on inferences and burden were legally correct; the evidence of recent complaint was admissible on the facts and was properly circumscribed in the summing up; the absence of a specific direction of special caution was within the judge's discretion and not Wednesbury unreasonable given the comprehensive and balanced summing up, therefore the convictions and sentence are safe and must be upheld though leave to appeal is granted.
