Summary

Lai Kam Fung applied for leave to appeal against his conviction for trafficking in 42.2 grammes of cocaine, for which he was sentenced to 7 years and 4 months' imprisonment. The key issue was whether the judge should have left a lesser alternative verdict of simple possession to the jury. The application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
