1. The appellant in this case, Miss Sheryl Teresa Deakin, is not present in court today. It appears from her undated letter that she is not available to return to Hong Kong as she has a placement until 30 December 2018, and then she starts another full semester from 5 January until 1 July. In that letter which I received yesterday, (sent together with her father’s letter dated 12 November 2018,) she says she will not be able to prepare for her defence with her lawyer in person till such date.
