Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC15/2018

The applicant's leave to appeal against sentence is refused because the sentence was not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive: a 20% reduction for late guilty plea was appropriate given prolonged absconding, co-defendants' sentences were not demonstrably lighter on comparable facts, and parity with unrelated cases is inapplicable; totality principle was properly applied.

Citation

HKSAR v. TSOGOO, Ariunsaikhan
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA332/2011

The Magistrate lawfully adopted a 12-month starting point for pickpocketing, applied a one-third guilty-plea discount and further mitigation for remorse and remand, producing a 7-month sentence which falls within the appropriate range given aggravating factors (vulnerable victim and multiple offenders); the sentence is not excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
