Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal Sentence (application for Leave) / Application for Leave to Appeal Against Sentence (court of Appeal Hearing)

  1. 1 Whether the sentencing uplift under the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance was justified
  2. 2 Whether aggregate sentences were manifestly excessive or breached the totality principle
  3. 3 Whether the prosecution evidence supported treating online shopping fraud as sufficiently prevalent to justify deterrent uplift

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the trial judge lawfully applied relevant principles: the prosecution evidence supported treating online shopping fraud as sufficiently prevalent to justify a deterrent uplift under the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance, sentencing starting points and a 30% uplift were within reasonable bounds, and the overall aggregate sentences respected the totality principle; A1 raised no arguable ground and A2 withdrew his application.

Court Disposition

applications dismissed; original sentences affirmed
