    KONG KWOK KEUNG v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

    Citation
    KONG KWOK KEUNG v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL128/2012

    The conviction under Charge (A) was quashed because the Adjudicating Officer impermissibly equated the imposition of restricted duties with proof of impairment of operational efficiency without adequate evidential proof of the causal link; integrity concerns are relevant but the AO relied on duty restrictions as sufficient, which was irrational, so rehearing is required.

    CHEUNG WING FAI v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

    Citation
    CHEUNG WING FAI v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL68/2004

    The court held the Appropriate Tribunal and appellate officers acted within jurisdiction and provided sufficient reasons: absence of documentary corroboration and absence of oral evidence (availability for cross‑examination) justified rejecting the brother‑help explanation; the proven extent of liabilities justified a finding of financial imprudence and the award was not unreasonable; the judicial review application was therefore dismissed.
