    Citation
    R. v. YIU KUI SIN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC26/1996

    Conviction was upheld because the applicant's cautioned statement containing an admission provided sufficient evidence of theft; the later payment of $131,000 did not undo the completed offence; sentencing was reduced to reflect the payment but, absent a trial judge finding that the payment fully compensated the employer, the applicant was given the benefit of the doubt and the total sentence was reduced to 15 months concurrent imprisonment.
