HKSAR v. CHO CHING CHING
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA207/2008

The appellate court upheld the magistrate's approach: the individual starting points and plea reductions were appropriate and, when aggregated taking account of overlap and the appellant's persistent dishonesty and prior record, the total sentence of 12 months was not excessive and should be upheld.

YU PO-SHING v. THE QUEEN

Citation

YU PO-SHING v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC76/1970

The appeal was dismissed because, on the facts and convictions showing repeated and deliberate breaches of traffic laws (including payment to obtain a clean licence), the aggregate sentence of twelve months' imprisonment and five years' disqualification were not excessive or unreasonable; the magistrate's sentencing was within proper exercise of discretion despite concerns about the absence of an initial written statement of facts.
