“Magistrate Minnie Wat Lai-man on Thursday found Carol Hui Mei-ying and digital strategy consultant Chan Tsz-wai not guilty of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies the names of the magistrate (Minnie Wat Lai-man) and the outcome (not guilty) for Carol Hui and Chan Tsz-wai.
