    HKSAR v. WALSH KENT ANDREW

    Citation
    [2018] HKCFI 763
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCC368/2015

    Given the defendants' backgrounds, the apparent existence of operation-wide material relevant to whether they were groomed, the prosecution's undertaking to inquire and the absence of a prosecution objection to bail, the court found bail appropriate in the unusual circumstances subject to strict conditions; the court required the prosecution to take all reasonable steps to obtain and disclose material from foreign partners and fixed a further mention to monitor progress; trial dates were vacated where necessary pending disclosure and medical/investigative issues.
