The Court refused leave to appeal and held that direct trafficking is more serious than possession for the purpose of unlawful trafficking; therefore the CHAN Chi-ming tariffs for possession-for-purpose do not apply to direct trafficking. Quantity is relevant but not determinative; addiction in these facts was aggravating. The existing sentences (Yeung 4 years, Lam 5 years) were not sufficiently low to justify interference.
