- HCMA181/1999
The court allowed the appeal in part and reduced the sentence from eight to seven months because the magistrate failed to take proper account of two mitigating factors—employment occurred outside Hong Kong territorial waters and the criminality was of short duration (three days)—while the family's psychological hardship did not justify further reduction.
