1. This is an application by the accused pursuant to section 16 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, Cap 221, (the CPO), for his discharge in relation to the count of murder on the indictment laid against him. The circumstances of this application are unusual because it was made after the accused had a previous conviction for murder quashed on appeal by the Court of Appeal, following which it ordered that the accused be retried. See HKSAR v Ngai Hon Kwong [2016] 2 HKLRD 149.
