Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMC57/2012

Application dismissed: the central submission that s25(1) requires proof of a specific underlying indictable offence was untenable on statutory construction and authority; the points of law were new and not raised earlier and no grave or substantial injustice was shown; accordingly no extension of time/leave granted.

Citation

HKSAR v. CHIU KIT AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC210/2009

On the totality of the evidence — short-lived companies established solely to receive large remittances (about HK$42 million), implausible explanations, lack of business records and credible corroboration — no reasonable tribunal would have reached a different conclusion; convictions were safe; trial judge legitimately rejected defence evidence and could infer falsehood in Zhao's statements; sentencing was appropriate overall but reduced for Zhao due to lesser culpability and influence by his daughter.
