Court

LI CHUN WAH v. THE QUEEN

Citation

LI CHUN WAH v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC369/1971

Because no application for a summons was made and the statutory duty to issue a summons is triggered only if it is "made to appear" to the magistrate, he was not obliged to summon P.C. 10212; further, the magistrate's specific findings of fact demonstrated that he considered the elements of obstruction and careless driving and were sufficient to support the convictions, so the appeal is dismissed.
