DETERMINATION
_________________________________
Mr Justice Bokhary PJ:
1. Reasonable as always, Mr Cheung has indicated that the prosecution does not oppose leave to appeal and will not oppose the appeal itself. In such circumstances, we order as follows. Leave to appeal is granted. The hearing of the appeal is fixed for 10 a.m. on 10 March 2004. It is deemed that a notice of appeal has been served by Mr Morter in respect of the bind-over and cost orders made against him. The requirement for printed cases is dispensed with. The court accepts, and expresses its thanks for, the prosecution's undertaking to prepare and provide the record, consisting of a single part, within one week from today.
