  In MO YUK PING v. HKSAR, Mo Yuk Ping appealed against her conviction for conspiracy to defraud, challenging
  legal certainty in the offence's elements. The Court of Appeal refused certification for points 2 to
  5, deeming them unnecessary or obvious. However, it granted leave to appeal on point 3 regarding the
  constitutional requirement of legal certainty. The judgment was based on the clarity of the trial judge’s
  findings and the sufficiency of evidence.
