    Citation
    THE QUEEN v. HO KWAI YEUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA167/1985

    The prosecution failed to prove the essential elements of s6A(1) because there was no evidence the appellant 'importuned' the persons or that his conduct actually annoyed or was likely to annoy them; therefore the magistrate's finding should have been not guilty and the appeal is allowed.
