DETERMINATION

___________________________

Mr Justice Litton PJ:

1. There are two applicants before us, seeking leave to appeal against the dismissal of their appeals by Mr Justice Woo JA in the High Court.

2. They were convicted jointly on one charge of common assault in the Western Magistracy. Additionally, the first applicant was convicted of wilfully obstructing a police officer in the due execution of his duty.

3. The facts leading to these convictions have been carefully investigated in the two courts below. It is not the function of the Court of Final Appeal to review the facts all over again. The applicants have brought forward nothing this morning which would justify leave to bring an appeal to the Court of Final Appeal.

4. These applications are dismissed.

Representation:

Mr Chu Sik Chor, 1st Applicant, in person

Ms Ma Yuet Ying, 2nd Applicant, in person

Mr Arthur Luk and Mr Alex Lee (of Department of Justice) for the Respondent
