Section 25(4) OSCO requires the underlying 'indictable offence' to be judged by Hong Kong law, so foreign criminalisation cannot be used to make conduct criminal for the purposes of section 25(1); on the facts and applying the public interest test, admission of the overseas silk was refused because experienced local counsel were retained, the trial was in District Court, and it was not in the public interest to admit overseas counsel.
