R v Ze Wang Sun

In the case of R v Ze Wang Sun, the respondent, Ze Wang Sun, faced charges related to blackmail. The dispute was brought before the court by the Crown, and the decision was rendered by a judge sitting alone in the relevant court. The central issue before the court was whether the trial judge's directions to the jury regarding the identification of the accused were adequate, particularly considering that the real issue for the jury was one of credibility between the evidence provided by the victim and that of the accused. The court had to determine whether the judge's directions were sufficient to allow the jury to make an informed decision on the matter.

The court examined the trial judge's directions on the issue of identification, considering whether they adequately addressed the central issue of credibility between the victim's and the accused's evidence. The court found that the directions were sufficient, as they allowed the jury to properly assess the credibility of the evidence presented by both parties. The court concluded that the judge's directions were appropriate and did not prejudice the respondent, as the real issue for the jury was one of credibility rather than identification.

The court also considered the sentence imposed on the respondent, finding it to be two years with a minimum of one year. The court deemed the sentence to be charitable, given the circumstances of the case and the evidence presented. The respondent was found guilty of the charges, and the sentence was deemed appropriate and proportionate to the offence committed.

The final orders of the court were to affirm the conviction of the respondent and the sentence imposed, finding the directions given by the trial judge to be adequate and the sentence to be charitable.
