Coram: Hon Stuart-Moore, VP, Leong and Wong JJA in Court Date of Hearing: 11 July 2000 Date of Judgment: 11 July 2000 _______________________ J U D G M E N T _______________________ Wong JA: (giving the judgment of the court) 1. This is an application by the applicant for a certificate under s.32 of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance. 2. The point of law of great and general importance is said to be this: Whether a District Court Judge is bound to apply the guidelines, or be mindful of considerations in R. v. Turnbull [1977] 1 QB 224. 3. The application and the arguments Mr Philip Ross advanced in support bear no relation to what this Court decided on 20 June 2000. It is totally misconceived. 4. In our judgment, no point of law of great and general importance is involved. There is no merit whatsoever in the application and we are surprised that it should have been brought.
Representation: Mr P S Chapman, SADPP, of the Department of Justice, for the Respondent Mr Philip Ross, instructed by the Legal Aid Department, for the Applicant |
