Mr Justice Bokhary PJ :
Mr Leung, the prosecution invites us to grant leave to appeal?
Mr David Leung :
Yes.
Mr Justice Bokhary PJ :
Mr Ross, we need not trouble you. We grant leave to appeal. The parties may wish to give consideration to seeing if the appeal can be disposed of under the procedure laid down in Mok Kin Kau v. HKSAR (2008) 11 HKCFAR 1 where it was said : that an uncontested appeal can be allowed without putting any party to the expense of an oral hearing if it can be seen, even without the assistance of oral argument, that the appeal should be allowed; and that if costs remain in issue, they can be dealt with on written submissions.
