The Court allowed the appeal because, although the trial judge's starting point was not entirely inappropriate, the net 7 year sentence gave insufficient recognition to the applicant's guilty plea under the sentencing policy in R v Kwok Chi Kwan; accordingly the 7 year sentence on the trafficking charge was set aside and substituted with 6 years imprisonment.
