Citation

香港特別行政區訴曾耿中
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA832/2011

The judge's persistent and intrusive participation in the appellant's cross‑examination, including curtailing lines of inquiry and interrogating the appellant, created a real and objectively ascertainable danger of unfairness; therefore the conviction was unsafe and was quashed, sentence was set aside and a retrial ordered after balancing the public interest and prejudice to the appellant.
