    Citation
    HKSAR v. MA CHIU SING
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC4/2003

    The applicant's conviction on count 5 was properly entered following an unequivocal guilty plea and admitted Summary of Facts establishing he sent threatening letters to Apple Daily; the alleged discrepancy between fax and post was immaterial to the proof of the offence and did not render the plea unsafe, therefore the out of time appeal lacked merit and was dismissed; however the court exercised s83W CPO to exclude 3 months of pre-hearing custody from the sentence.
