HKSAR v. Koo Sze Yiu and Another

Read the full judgment text of HCMA 482/2013 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 12 May 2014.

1. In my judgment, the points of law raised have either been conclusively decided by the Court of Final Appeal or, if not, would not have brought about a different result in the case of Ng Kung Siu and, 15 years on, will not now lead to a different conclusion about the National or Regional Flag and Emblem Ordinances.
