助理律師未經授權助鄒家成寄投訴信罪成 高院拒批上訴至終院證明書
In May 2023, Owen Chow Ka-shing, who was remanded in custody over the “47-person case”, was accused of sending, through a lawyer and without authorisation, a complaint letter to The Ombudsman alleging that the Correctional Services Department had damaged two Buddhist books and refused to accept them when they were sent in by his friends and relatives. Chow and a female lawyer were convicted of “taking unauthorised articles out of a prison”. Chow was sentenced to three days’ imprisonment, while the lawyer was fined HK$1,800.
Their appeals against conviction were dismissed, while Chow’s sentence was varied to an HK$1,800 fine. The lawyer involved applied for a certificate granting leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, but the application was dismissed immediately at the High Court on Tuesday (14th). The Judiciary’s website shows that the lawyer has directly applied to the Court of Final Appeal again for leave to appeal; no hearing date has yet been set.
2023 年 5 月，因「47 人案」還押的鄒家成，被指未經授權下，透過律師寄出予申訴專員公署的投訴信，投訴懲教署損毀及拒絕其親友送入的兩本佛學書籍。鄒與一名女律師被裁定「將未經授權的物品攜離監獄」罪成，鄒判囚 3 日，律師罰款 1,800 元。
兩人不服提定罪上訴被駁回，鄒則獲改判罰款 1,800 元。涉案律師申請上訴至終院許可證明書，周二（14 日）在高等法院即日被駁回。司法機構網頁顯示，涉案律師已直接向終院再申請上訴許可，暫未排期聆訊。

涉以假資料詐騙473萬百分百擔保貸款 3人判囚18至27月
Four people allegedly provided false information to obtain more than HK$4.73 million in loans from banks through the SME 100% Guarantee Loan Scheme. They were prosecuted by the Police National Security Department on four charges, including conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. Defendant Cheung Ho-yeung had earlier pleaded guilty in the “Returning Valiant case” and had the charges in this case withdrawn. Two other defendants pleaded guilty, while the remaining defendant was convicted of conspiracy to defraud after trial. The three defendants were sentenced to between 18 and 27 months’ imprisonment at the District Court on Tuesday (14th). Deputy District Judge Wan Siu-ming said the fraud involved planning and preparation and that the amount involved was substantial. However, the first two defendants had not profited from the scheme and had both been used by the mastermind to commit the offences, whereas the third defendant had committed the offence in return for payment, making their levels of culpability different.
The female defendant also testified as a prosecution witness, and part of her evidence formed the basis for the conviction of another defendant. She therefore received a 50% reduction in sentence.
4 名男女涉提供虛假資料，透過中小企百分百擔保貸款計劃，詐騙銀行批出逾 473 萬元貸款，被警方國安處起訴串謀欺詐、洗黑錢等 4 罪。其中被告張昊揚早前在「光城者案」認罪，在本案獲撤控。另兩名被告認罪，餘下一人受審後串謀詐騙罪成，周二（14 日）於區域法院被判囚 18 至 27 個月。
暫委法官溫紹明指，本案詐騙行為有計劃及預備，所涉金額不低。但首兩名被告於本案中並無獲利，均被主謀利用犯案，第三被告則收取金錢後犯案，罪責不同。另外，案中女被告以證人身分作供，部分證供成為另一被告的定罪基礎，獲 50% 刑期扣減。

陳同佳赴台自首接近「無得搞」 管浩鳴：慘過坐監 人生停滯
The Taiwan murder case that prompted the Hong Kong Government to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance involved suspect Chan Tong-kai, who was sentenced to prison in Hong Kong for money laundering and has been out of prison for nearly six years. Reverend Koon Ho-ming, who has continued to follow Chan’s situation, said in a newspaper interview that Chan’s plan to travel to Taiwan to surrender himself was nearing “no way forward” and depended heavily on the Taiwan side’s position, adding that he had not yet seen a way out. Koon previously said Chan was living in a quiet, remote mountainous area. He described Chan’s situation as “even worse than being in prison” and, responding to criticism that Chan was “playing video games to pass the time”, said that his “life had completely come to a standstill”, like an object drifting with the current in the open sea.
觸發香港政府修訂《逃犯條例》的台灣殺人案，疑犯陳同佳在香港因洗黑錢罪名被判囚，他出獄至今已接近 6 年。一直跟進陳同佳情況的管浩鳴牧師，接受報章專訪表示，陳同佳赴台自首一事已接近「無得搞」，非常視乎台方的立場，稱暫未看到出路。管浩鳴過去曾說陳同佳居於深山清靜地方，他形容陳的情況「仲慘過坐監」，並回應外界質疑陳同佳「打機渡日」，稱他「人生完全停滯」，就如在大海隨水漂流的物體。

羅健熙非法集結無罪 上訴庭下令律政司就上訴敗訴支付全數訟費
On 18 November 2019, members of the public organised a move to Tsim Sha Tsui to “rescue” protesters inside Polytechnic University, and many people were arrested. Lo Kin-hei, then chairperson of the Democratic Party, was tried and found not guilty of unlawful assembly at trial. The Department of Justice appealed against the decision. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in March this year, which upheld the acquittal, and on Friday (10th) ordered the Department of Justice to pay Lo his full costs.
The judgment said the Department of Justice argued that, although the Court of Appeal had ruled that the trial decision was not irrational, the appeal was not entirely without merit. It cited a case in which the court held that where only one ground of appeal was accepted, the respondent could receive only half of the costs. Lo’s side argued that the number of grounds of appeal and the success rate were not decisive factors in determining costs; the question should be whether court time had been wasted.
The Court of Appeal said the fundamental difference between this case and the other cases was that “none of the grounds of appeal [brought by the Department of Justice] actually succeeded”. The trial judge had erred in misreading cases concerning “common purpose”, but that error was unrelated to Lo’s acquittal. The court did not consider that Lo, who had been acquitted, should have to pay for the error. The judgment said the Department of Justice’s wish to correct the trial court’s error was understandable, but it could not expect Lo to share the costs.
2019 年 11 月 18 日，市民發起到尖沙咀「營救」理大內示威者，多人被捕。時任民主黨主席羅健熙受審後，原審被裁定非法集結罪不成立。律政司不服提上訴，今年 3 月被上訴庭駁回，維持無罪裁決，並在周五（10 日）下令律政司須向羅健熙支付全數訟費。
判詞提到，律政司一方認為，雖然上訴庭裁定原審裁決並非有悖常理，但上訴不是完全沒有道理，又引案例稱，上訴方只有一個上訴理由獲法庭接納，故答辯人只能獲一半訟費。羅健熙一方則指，上訴理由多寡及成功率，並非定奪訟費的關鍵因素，應視乎有否浪費法庭時間。
上訴庭指，本案與其他案例的根本分別，是律政司上訴理由「其實無一成立」，而原審法官誤讀有關「共同目的」的案例屬犯錯，但這錯誤與羅的無罪裁決無關，不認為「已脫身」的羅，要為這錯誤付出代價。判詞指，律政司希望糾正原審錯誤可以理解，但不能指望羅分擔訟費。

反恐第二案｜心理報告指3被告不滿警隊、政府 何卓為危公眾安全 官10.27判刑
The first seven defendants in the second case under the Anti-terrorism Ordinance were found by a jury not guilty of all the principal charges under the ordinance. Three were convicted of alternative charges and face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The case was heard in the High Court on Friday (10th) for mitigation. Judge Chan Chung-hang adjourned sentencing until Oct. 27.
The prosecution cited psychological reports on the three defendants, all of which mentioned dissatisfaction with the police force and the government. It also cited case law stating that, when sentencing, the court must assess the danger the defendants pose to public safety. The report said the first defendant, Ho Cheuk Wai, had a high risk of reoffending and that the danger posed to public safety was “not to be ignored”. The side of Ho submitted letters of mitigation asking whether they could show that his character was “really that bad”, and said he had behaved well while remanded in custody.
The side of Christopher Ka Tsun Cheung said Cheung had at most played an assisting role, being responsible for making the remote control for the bomb. The side of Lee Ka-ban relied on written submissions. Several defendants applied to retrieve electronic devices, cash and clothing. The prosecution objected, saying the case might be appealed and that the items were related to the case. The two acquitted defendants also applied for costs. The judge reserved a written decision.
反恐條例第二案首 7 名被告，被陪審團裁定《反恐條例》主控罪全部不成立，其中 3 人交替控罪成立，面對最高判監 20 年的刑罰。案件周五（10 日）在高等法院處理求情，法官陳仲衡押後 10 月 27 日判刑。
控方引述 3 被告心理報告，皆提及對警隊、政府不滿；亦引案例指判刑時需判斷被告對公眾安全的危害。報告指，首被告何卓為重犯機會高，對公眾安全的危害「不容忽視」。何一方則呈求情信指可證其品格「係咪真係壞成咁」，又指他還押期間行為良好。
張家俊一方指張最多是協助角色，負責製造炸彈的搖控。李嘉濱一方則依賴書面陳詞。多名被告申請取回電子裝置、現金及衣物，控方反對，指案件有機會上訴，而物品與案有關。兩名無罪被告另申請訟費，官押後頒下書面裁決。

12港人｜喬映瑜認製造爆炸品等囚61月 去年提刑罰上訴 律政司指已撤回
QUINN Moon, one of the “12 Hong Kong people”, was sent back to Hong Kong after completing a mainland sentence in August 2022 and was arrested immediately. QUINN Moon subsequently pleaded guilty to three charges: making and possessing explosives, and perverting the course of justice. In January 2024, the District Court sentenced QUINN Moon to 61 months’ imprisonment, and QUINN Moon filed an appeal against the sentence.
The Department of Justice told The Witness on Friday (10th) that QUINN Moon had notified the Court of Appeal of the withdrawal of the application for leave to appeal against the sentence, and the court consequently dismissed the application in accordance with the law. According to records, following QUINN Moon’s withdrawal of the appeal, the cases involving most of the defendants in the “12 Hong Kong people” case have been concluded. Only the national security case involving Lee Yuet-yan and Jimmy Lai remains to be dealt with.
「12 港人」之一的喬映瑜，2022 年 8 月服完內地刑期後被押返香港，隨即被捕，其後承認製造及管有爆炸品、妨礙司法公正 3 罪，2024 年 1 月在區域法院被判囚 61 個月，她提出刑罰上訴。
律政司周五（10 日）回覆《法庭線》，指喬已通知上訴庭放棄其刑罰上訴許可申請，法庭遂根據法例規定駁回有關申請。翻查資料，隨着喬映瑜撤回上訴，「12 港人」案大多數被告的案件均已審結，僅餘李宇軒牽涉的黎智英國安案仍待處理。

正就暴動案服刑男子遭起訴藏槍彈 獲判無罪 官不信納警方專家供詞
In June 2020, a shooting-range employee was accused of keeping a handgun, magazines and cartridge cases at his residence. He was charged by the Police National Security Department with unlicensed possession of firearms and ammunition. He denied the charge and stood trial, and was found not guilty on Wednesday (8th) at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, sitting as the District Court. Acting Judge Lau Yee-wan said the defendant was a “gun enthusiast”. The handgun could be used in air-gun competitions and could only take a specific type of magazine, not a standard magazine, while the bullets might have been decorative items. She agreed there was no evidence that the shop employee or the defendant knew how to distinguish real guns from toy guns, and that the defendant might have accidentally bought a real gun. The judge also said she did not accept the testimony of an expert from the police firearms forensic section.
2020 年 6 月，一名射擊競技場職員被指在住所，藏有手槍、彈匣及彈殻等物品，被警方國安處起訴「無牌管有槍械及彈藥」罪。他不認罪受審，周三（8 日）在西九龍裁判法院（暫代區域法院）獲裁定罪名不成立。
暫委法官劉綺雲指，被告是「槍癡」，涉案手槍能參加氣槍比賽，只能放特定彈匣，不能放普通彈匣， 而子彈有機會是裝飾品。她同意沒證據顯示，店員、被告懂得分辨真槍及玩具槍，被告有可能意外買到真槍。官亦指，不信納警方軍械法證課專家的供詞。

7.14沙田｜致總警司手指骨折 官判杜啟華須賠償逾15萬元 杜：終告一段落
On 14 July 2019, clashes between police and protesters broke out at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. Demonstrator To Kai Wa was accused of biting off a sergeant’s finger and, in a criminal case, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for four offences including assaulting police and wounding. Leung Tsz-kin, then a senior superintendent whose finger was fractured after Tou struck him with an umbrella during the clashes, pursued compensation from Tou in a civil case.
District Court judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh said in a judgment handed down on Monday (6th) that To Kai Wa had sought to submit footage of the incident to prove that he had not come into contact with Leung. However, the footage had already been fully considered in the criminal case and constituted “facts already adjudicated”, the judge said, ruling that Tou had abused the legal process. In response to Tou’s claim that Leung’s failure to use suitable protective equipment had caused the injury, the judge rebuked him for reversing right and wrong and shifting blame, and ordered Tou to pay Leung more than $150,000 in compensation.
After the judgment, To Kai Wa said: “From 2019 to 2025, the long journey of legal disputes has finally come to an end. That’s pretty good.” He said his current financial situation was “not great”, but that he would do his best to fulfil his legal responsibilities, “continue to obey the law, and hopefully have the opportunity to study law again in the future.”
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城巿廣場爆發警民衝突，示威者杜啟華被指咬斷警長手指等，在刑事案中就襲警、傷人等 4 罪，被判囚 5 年半。在衝突中被杜用雨傘擊打導致手指骨折的時任高級警司梁子健，循民事向杜索償。
區域法院法官羅麗萍周一（6 日）頒判詞指，杜啟華欲呈案發片段，以證明沒接觸梁，惟此片段已在刑事案獲充分考慮，屬「已裁定事實」，指杜濫用司法程序。就杜稱，梁沒使用合適防護裝備致受傷，官斥他顛倒是非、諉過於人，裁定杜須向梁賠償逾 15 萬元。
杜啟華在判決後表示，「19 年到 25 年，悠長嘅法律爭議嘅旅途，終於告一段落，幾好吖」。他指，現時經濟狀況「幾麻麻」，但會盡量履行應有法律責任，「繼續守法啦，希望未來有機會讀返法律啦」。
