The Court held that the sentencing judge misapplied the totality principle by adopting an overall starting point equivalent to about 36 years before discount for plea; maintaining individual sentences but restructuring concurrency/concurrency to have six years of the 14-year count 2 run consecutively to the 10-year count 1 (with the remainder concurrent with count 3) properly applies totality and reduces the overall sentence to 16 years imprisonment; costs of HKD 30,000 awarded to the appellant.
