R. v. LI CHI WAI
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC227/1996

Leave to appeal was refused because the trial judge conducted an impeccable summing-up, the jury considered the applicant's defenses, and the confession together with supporting circumstantial evidence sustained the conviction; there were no legal or procedural grounds to permit a retrial or to disturb the verdict.

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.
