Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA282/2023

Trial judge's acceptance of PW1's credible, consistent evidence and rejection of the defence witness was not shown to be erroneous; there was no reasonable basis to find appellant honestly believed he faced imminent danger such that head‑butt was lawful or proportionate; on re‑hearing the prosecution proved guilt beyond reasonable doubt, so the appeal is dismissed.

HKSAR v. TSE CHEUK CHIN
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMC21/2000

The committee dismissed the applications because there was no evidence that CCTV existed or would have assisted the defence, the magistrate's acceptance of independent eyewitness and medical evidence was open on the record, and no point of law of great and general importance nor grave and substantial injustice under s.32 was shown; accordingly certification and leave to appeal were refused.
