    HKSAR v. WONG KWOK CHEUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA357/1999

    The magistrate erred in treating the inference that the appellant deliberately caused the damage as the only reasonable inference; because an alternative reasonable inference of accidental damage could not be excluded on the evidence, suspicion and non-reporting were insufficient to sustain the conviction, so the conviction was quashed.
