SIU LEUNG v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC310/1969

The appeal was dismissed because the magistrate properly accepted the complainant's evidence that the appellant corruptly solicited and received money linked to the arrangement for a survey/licence, and the appellant's lack of actual ability to issue the licence did not negate the corrupt offence.

Citation

YUEN KA KWOK v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC302/1968

The magistrate's acceptance of the Crown witnesses and the physical evidence (marked banknotes and cheque recovered on the appellant), together with the implausibility of the appellant's conspiracy theory and the magistrate's assessment of demeanour, provided sufficient evidence beyond reasonable doubt to sustain convictions for solicitation and receipt under s.3(1) Cap.215; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
