    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA329/2012

    The trial judge properly exercised discretion in assessing credibility, accepted the prosecution witness as honest and reliable, rejected the appellant's account as evasive, found the evidence sufficient that the smoking occurred in a no‑smoking area and that there was no unfair denial of opportunity to question; accordingly the conviction and fine were upheld.

    HKSAR v. HO YAU YIN

    Citation
    HKSAR v. HO YAU YIN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA180/2009

    The court certified only the second question for the Court of Final Appeal because that question about the percentage enclosure required to constitute 'indoor' arises directly from the judgment and meets the threshold of general importance; the first question about the material of the enclosure was not certified because it did not directly arise from the judgment and the judge did not treat the material as determinative.
