Citation

THE QUEEN v. LEUNG MING YUN AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC550/1986

The conviction on the detention charge (count 2) was quashed because the trial judge failed to identify and direct the jury on whether any evidence existed that was capable of corroborating the complainant; the jury were not properly placed to apply the required corroboration warning and, given the absence of corroboration, the conviction was unsafe and could not stand.
