The court found no error in the magistrate's assessment of credibility and affirmed the convictions on both charges; the original 12‑month sentence for the first (copyright) offence was manifestly excessive and was reduced to a fine of HK$25,000 (default 2 months' imprisonment), while the 4 months' imprisonment for the assault was upheld; if the fine is unpaid the effective imprisonment is 4 months (2 months on the first charge concurrent with 2 months of the second, with the remaining 2 months consecutive).
