    HKSAR v. LEE KWOK YUN AND OTHERS

    Citation
    HKSAR v. LEE KWOK YUN AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC117/2004

    Leave to appeal was refused because no material trial irregularity or miscarriage of justice was demonstrated, the judge's summing up adequately presented the defence, and the imposed sentences were not manifestly excessive having regard to the enormous sums involved, the prolonged and systematic nature of the frauds and the relative culpability of each applicant; mitigation was considered and discounts appropriately applied.
