    Citation
    HKSAR v. LEUNG KAI CHUNG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC96/2000

    Because the prosecution principally caused the irregularity by failing to grant immunity properly and prosecuting counsel contributed to the incongruity, costs of the appeal are to be paid from public revenue, but full costs of the trial are inappropriate because experienced defence counsel failed to take available points; therefore 75% of the Court of First Instance costs are awarded to the applicant, taxed if not agreed, and there is no order for costs of 25 October 1999 due to insufficient information.
