Bail pending appeal was granted because the appeal case satisfied both the merit and time-served limbs and, on the facts of the outstanding District Court matter (single complainant, small identified predicate deposit, prior grant of bail), the court was not persuaded there was a sufficient risk of reoffending or flight to justify continued detention; the prosecution's case in the appeal resembled the sham‑account category in HKSAR v Wong Chor Wo, and the applicant arranged the required bail payments, so bail was ordered on the terms submitted.
