Barnes, Judianna Wai Ling 張慧玲
HKSAR v Chow Hang Tung
HK Court of Final Appeal, 25-Jan-2024
Ms Chow's conviction for inciting others to take part in an unauthorised assembly on the 32nd anniversary of what the court calls the "4 June Incident" is reinstated. In essence, as nobody applied for (and succeeded) in a judicial review of the decision of the Appeal Board on Public Meetings and Processions to block the vigil for those who died in and around Tiananmen Square, it was not open to the defendant to subsequently argue that the Police failed to find a safe way to allow the it under COVID regulations.

HKSAR v Ma Ka Kin
HK Court of First Instance, 11-Dec-2018
Mr Ma succeeds in his application to change his plea to not guilty, after changing his legal team, whom he alleges had a conflict of interest in getting him to make a statement admitting guilt and clearing the other accused, Mr Hung Chi Him. They deny this. Ma had previously given a video-recorded interview which is contradicted by the statement. Justice Judianna Barnes finds that his plea of guilty was entered involuntarily.
