Procedural Posture

Criminal Sentence Appeal (leave Application) / Decision on Leave to Appeal Application (refused)

  1. 1 Whether the trial judge erred in granting only a small guilty plea discount where the plea assisted prosecution evidence
  2. 2 Whether the trial judge erred in ordering concurrency so as to produce a manifestly excessive total sentence
  3. 3 Whether comparative authority (陳皓傑) required a materially lower global sentence in this case

Ratio Decidendi

The trial judge did not err: the limited additional guilty plea discount (2 months) was justified because the phone records made detection of offence 2 likely even without the admission; the one‑third uplift and the concurrency ordering were within permissible sentencing discretion given the applicant's record, the distinct nature of separate offences and offending on bail; the aggregate sentence was not manifestly excessive. Therefore leave to appeal was properly refused.
