Citation

[2024] HKCFI 95
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA183/2023

Appellant failed to adduce sufficient evidence to establish a reasonable excuse under Cap.599I s5A(3); the prosecution's evidence (body‑worn video and police testimony) credibly proved the offence and rebutted suggested medical or activity defences, therefore the conviction and statutory fine were properly imposed and the appeal is dismissed.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA114/2022
