The Court held the magistrate's aggregate fines were manifestly inadequate and substituted fines of HK$3,000 for each offence committed before the 30 March 2006 amendment and HK$4,000 for each offence committed thereafter (total HK$39,000), accepting management chaos as a mitigating factor but emphasizing deterrence and the need for substantially higher fines in the ordinary case.
