The application for leave to appeal is dismissed because the applicant's grounds do not demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success nor any other reason warranting an appeal; the trial judge's factual and credibility findings and evaluation of expert evidence stand and the respondent's late filing was permissibly excused; costs are awarded to the respondent.

R. v. LAW SHEUNG PING
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA256/1994

The appeal was allowed because the trust instrument dated 26 June 1987, relied on by the magistrate, was executed after the critical date and the court had not given sufficient weight to other documentary and oral evidence which created a lurking doubt as to whether the appellant had a financial interest or was dishonest on 22 May 1987 and in January 1990; convictions were therefore unsafe and were quashed.
