1. For the reasons contained in the judgment of Mr Justice Fok PJ, I agree that this appeal should be allowed and the appellant’s conviction quashed. I only emphasise one point. The common law offence of outraging public decency, which has a history going back at least 350 years, is not one that comfortably fits into the modern internet age. Criminal liability in the context of the present case is one that should be determined by legislation.
