HKSAR v. HARRY SUDIRMAN

Citation

HKSAR v. HARRY SUDIRMAN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC486/2003

The Court dismissed the application for leave to appeal because the proffered fresh evidence (the Medical Council complaint and related affidavits) would not have afforded any ground for allowing the appeal: the defence already had material and had pursued the conspiracy theory at trial; the complaint was hearsay and added nothing of substance; admission of the additional evidence was unnecessary under s83V and would not render the convictions unsafe.

LUI MAN KIT v. R.

Citation

LUI MAN KIT v. R.
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC363/1993

The appeal is dismissed: the cross-examination challenged was, in large part, legitimate inquiry into the applicant's medical practice and background; the trial judge properly intervened to prevent impermissible propensity questions; the judge did not err in refusing to direct on good character because the applicant did not put character in issue and had pleaded guilty to other counts; accordingly the conviction is safe.
