Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ333/2010

R. v. HO WING LEUNG

Citation

R. v. HO WING LEUNG
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC645/1996

Bail pending appeal was refused because, on the material before the court, there were no realistic or very strong prospects of success; the trial judge's finding that the applicant advised the detainer to demand money reasonably supports the conviction for encouraging further detention (ransom/false imprisonment), so bail cannot be justified.
