    LAM WONG-FAI v. THE QUEEN

    Citation
    LAM WONG-FAI v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC176/1977

    The custodial sentence of one year was disproportionate to the facts of this case when compared with English authorities; given the relative lesser seriousness and rarity of reported local cases the appropriate punishment is a fine of $3,000 payable within one week or six months' imprisonment in default, and the magistrate's sentence is set aside and replaced accordingly.
