Procedural Posture

Criminal Sentencing Appeal (leave to Appeal) / Court of Appeal Hearing — Application for Leave to Appeal Against Sentence

  1. 1 Whether the total sentences were manifestly excessive
  2. 2 Appropriate baseline sentence for street fraud offences and per-count increments
  3. 3 Whether a 25% uplift under Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance (Cap.455) s27 was justified

The Court held the sentencing judge acted within his discretion: a baseline of about 3–3.5 years per serious street fraud count and 6 months uplift per additional count was reasonable in this case; the 25% uplift under Cap.455 s27 was justified; the judge afforded appropriate deductions for plea and compensation and did not manifestly over‑sentence; accordingly leave to appeal against sentence was refused.
