    HKSAR v. THAPA, GANGA DEVI
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA409/2015

    Given guideline starting points for pickpocketing (12–15 months) and the full discount for a guilty plea, an 8 month immediate custodial sentence was within the appropriate range and not manifestly excessive; immigration/deportation consequences do not justify reducing the sentence.

    HKSAR v. CLIFFORD MARTIN FRANK

    Citation
    HKSAR v. CLIFFORD MARTIN FRANK
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA1113/2001

    The appeal is dismissed because the Magistrate acted within proper sentencing discretion: there was no substantiation that the appellant was badly advised, deportation was not a relevant sentencing consideration, and the Lord Chief Justice's observations in Goodwin were properly applicable to the s.19 offences, so the concurrent 18‑month sentences stand.
