A magistrate activating a suspended sentence under s.109C of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance has jurisdiction to order that the suspended sentence take effect consecutively to sentences he imposes even if the aggregate exceeds the three year limit in the proviso to s.57 of the Magistrates Ordinance; s.57 applies to sentences "imposed" and does not limit the operation of s.109C; Ho Bing Chun is overruled.
