The magistrate's immediate custodial sentence was manifestly excessive because he failed to give proper weight to significant mitigating factors (early breach for basic necessities while tracking device activation pending, mask worn, prompt guilty plea, clear record, and substantial employment/professional consequences); the offence fell at the lower end of the statutory range and a substituted fine of HKD 15,000 was appropriate.
