1. We are satisfied that it is reasonably arguable that, in allowing the respondent’s appeal against his conviction for taking part in an unlawful assembly on the ground that it was not an irresistible inference that the respondent had the necessary participatory intent for the offence, the judge misapplied this Court’s judgment in HKSAR v Lo Kin Man [2021] HKCFA 37 .
