    Citation
    HKSAR v. CHAN CHIU KWOK
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA506/2004

    Section 40(2) of Cap. 374 must be read as requiring any variation of the 50 km/h default speed to be made by notice in the Gazette; because no valid Gazette notice supported the 80 km/h limit on the relevant road, that limit was invalid, the sign was misleading and the appellant was prejudiced; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the conviction is quashed.
