香港特別行政區訴吳詠琪及另一人

Citation

[2022] HKCA 168
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC150/2021

Leave to appeal was refused because the trial judge lawfully applied relevant principles: the prosecution evidence supported treating online shopping fraud as sufficiently prevalent to justify a deterrent uplift under the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance, sentencing starting points and a 30% uplift were within reasonable bounds, and the overall aggregate sentences respected the totality principle; A1 raised no arguable ground and A2 withdrew his application.

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC139/2014

The Court held there was ample, coherent and uncontested evidence to infer beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant knowingly possessed multiple false bank documents and intended they be used (or by others) to induce belief they were genuine for commercial/financing purposes (the required double intent under Cap.200 s75(1)); expert evidence was unnecessary for the disputed factual issue of whether documents were "samples"; chain of custody and provenance of the USB/files were adequately established; accordingly the leave to appeal against conviction was refused and convictions upheld.

HKSAR v. MA YUEN CHI

Citation

HKSAR v. MA YUEN CHI
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC537/2005

Possession of a large number of false passports by a courier warrants a high sentencing starting point (the judge's five-year starting point was not manifestly excessive) and the one-third guilty plea discount was correctly applied, therefore leave to appeal against sentence is refused.
