    香港特別行政區 訴 黃景宜

    Citation
    香港特別行政區 訴 黃景宜
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA39/2014

    The conviction was unsafe because the trial judge failed to make findings on a material disputed factual issue (whether the complainant's identity‑card copy was present on the appellant's computer) and failed to assess the complainant's credibility; that procedural omission and mischaracterisation of the central issue meant the conviction could not stand, warranting quashing of the conviction and adjournment of sentencing.

    WANG DIN SHIN v. NINA KUNG

    Citation
    WANG DIN SHIN v. NINA KUNG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV460/2002

    By majority the Court of Appeal upheld an indemnity basis for the successful party's costs but reduced the recoverable proportion to 75% (from the judge's 85%), set aside the direction to include LiveNote charges in recoverable costs, ordered the Wife to pay the Father's costs of the main appeal to be taxed on a party-and-party basis with certificate for four counsel, and ordered that each party bear their own costs of the Costs Appeal (end result reflecting interference with the trial judge's costs discretion where certain factual findings were disturbed).
