HKSAR v Jack Chen Keen, Hao May (fka Wang May Yan) & Eric Yee Wenjye
HK Court of Final Appeal, 30-Aug-2019
At final appeal, the convictions are quashed and a retrial is ordered, on grounds of "duplicity": there were 2 separate charges of conspiracy to defraud involving different particulars and different co-conspirators and "there is a risk that the jury had not arrived at a valid verdict against the same appellants based on an agreement to employ the same dishonest means".

HK Court of Appeal, 16-Apr-2018
The trio lose their appeal against conviction in the Natural Dairy (NZ) case, in a mammoth 260-page judgment after a 10-day appeal hearing. The judges are critical of leading counsel for the 3 appellants for "swamping the Court with inconsequential argument and material that serves to obfuscate and distract." They were Clare Montgomery, QC, Ian Winter, QC, Graham Harris, SC and Edward Fitzgerald, QC.
