    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA426/2005

    The learned magistrate properly applied relevant authorities and sentencing principles, considered mitigating factors including family illness and adjournments granted, and correctly imposed immediate custodial sentences with one-third discount per count and ordered consecutive terms given separate offences committed nearly a year apart and the aggravation of offending while on bail; there were no exceptional circumstances to reduce the sentences on appeal.
