HKSAR v. Liu Wah King

Read the full judgment text of CACC 88/2004 on BabelCite. This Court of Appeal judgment was delivered on 3 August 2004.

1. I shall grant the applicant leave in this case simply because, on balance, I think that the point that he raises deserves to be heard.  I have made it clear to him that that is not to be equated with any assessment of his chances of success.  The point that seems to me deserves a hearing is his comparison with the case of R v Chan Sui-to and another [1996] 2 HKCLR 128.
