The lawyer for a Filipino facing a charge at Shatin Court for dangerous driving that injured a pedestrian has proposed an alternative end to the case.
The duty lawyer of Bernardo Bernardino, 63 years old, did not give details on his proposal to the prosecution, but asked for adjournment to give way to the negotiations with the prosecutor.

The prosecutor did not object to the adjournment and the continuation of terms for Bernardino’s bail of $5,000, such as not leaving Hong Kong while the case is pending, reporting regularly to police and informing the police if he moves to a new address.
Magistrate David Chum set the new hearing for Dec. 12.

Chum also advised Bernardino to stay in touch with his lawyer to update himself on the progress of negotiations.
Bernardino was accused of hitting a pedestrian, Wong Lai-kiu, while driving at Hai Tei Square in Tsuen Wan last April 6.

Police charged him with dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm, which violates the Road Traffic Ordinance.
Section 36A of the ordinance sets two tiers of punishments for such offense: A fine at level 5 ($50,000) and imprisonment for seven years if convicted on indictment, and a fine at level 4 ($25,000) and imprisonment for two years on summary conviction.
