  Plaintiff seeks leave to appeal against conviction for conspiracy to defraud, challenging sufficiency
  of charge elements to meet legal certainty.
case_object:
- right to appeal against conviction for conspiracy to defraud
judgment_result:
- charge: Conviction for conspiracy to defraud (liability issue)
  result: Allowed. Court found the elements of the offence of conspiracy to defraud insufficiently precise
    to satisfy the constitutional requirement of legal certainty, warranting leave to appeal.
- charge: Certification of points 2-5 (liability issue)
  result: Dismissed. Court held the context was plain and straightforward, points 2-5 did not require
    certification as they lacked merit or called for no further judicial review.
- charge: Leave to appeal on 'substantial and grave injustice' ground (liability issue)
  result: Dismissed. Court found no basis for granting leave on this ground, as the applicant failed to
    demonstrate exceptional circumstances requiring intervention.
judgment_summary: >-
  Mo Yuk Ping appealed her conspiracy to defraud conviction, challenging charge sufficiency. Court found
  elements of conspiracy to defraud lacked legal certainty, granting appeal leave. Points 2-5 certification
  dismissed as context was plain; 'substantial and grave injustice' ground rejected due to insufficient
  exceptional circumstances. Orders: allow appeal on liability issue, dismiss other claims.
