HKSAR v Ma Ka Kin
HK Court of Appeal, 23-Apr-2021
Justice Kevin Zervos grants leave for Mr Ma to appeal. The DoJ objects to admission of the transcript of Ma's original successful application for reversal of his guilty plea after he changed lawyers. Zervos overrules this as it is "relevant to the consideration of whether there has been a miscarriage of justice."
