The Special Magistrate failed properly to consider the aggregate effect of 47 similar offences; although individual fines of HK$10,000 were not per se manifestly excessive, the total fine of HK$470,000 was manifestly excessive. The appropriate disposal was to substitute a fine of HK$2,500 on each summons, totalling HK$117,500, while leaving the confiscation order intact.
