Court

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. FONG LEUNG, LAWRENCE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA317/2001

Appeal allowed in part because immediate imprisonment was disproportionate in light of established sentencing bands, the mitigation and procedural defects in sentencing; the court set aside the sentences of imprisonment and substituted monetary fines of HKD5000 (failing to stop) and HKD7000 (drink driving) and reduced the driving disqualification to 18 months.
