    KAM HING-TAT v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC434/1982

    The Court held that fixing the commencement of the later sentence from 23 August 1982 improperly increased the overall term; because the offences would have attracted concurrent sentences if joined, and the aggravating factor of offending on bail did not justify the delayed commencement and additional effective custody, the judge's order was quashed and all sentences ordered to run concurrently; the order for loss of time was also set aside.
