- CACC122/2005
The conviction was quashed because the trial judge's summing-up invoked s47 as a presumption that imposed a persuasive burden on the accused, and the Court of Final Appeal in HKSAR v Hung Chan Wa & Another established that such an invocation was incorrect; accordingly leave to appeal was granted, the appeal allowed and the conviction quashed with a retrial ordered.
