Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC81/2024

Leave to appeal against sentence was granted because there was an arguable case that the overall sentence and the adopted starting points warranted fuller consideration by the full court, and because errors and issues arose concerning the judge's disqualification orders (notably the imposition of consecutive disqualification periods) and potential omission to make a s72A order.

Citation

HKSAR v. NG CHI LUNG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA76/2010

The magistrate's imposition of a 12 month driving disqualification was manifestly excessive in all the circumstances; having regard to the appellant's conduct, driving record and completion of the driving improvement course under s72A(1)(b), a 6 month disqualification was appropriate, and the appeal is allowed to that extent while other sentences are upheld.
